If I’m steady or overwhelmed, 100% honest. If I’ve got capacity.. maybe slightly less honest depending on if I’m bored or need the breather. If I’m bored, I’m honest and ask if they have anything I can get involved in.

Depends. Generally not honest/embellish a lot. If I have the relationship I am honest, and ask for support.

High five mate. Totally burnt out here too hahaha

Totally honest as I was growing up in the firm and even now. No one wants you to burn out and no one wants to be left in a lurch. So if you are slammed be honest about it. Also people can usually see when you are hiding. Most people don’t care and respect the need to hide, but personally I have more respect for those who say it; than for those who pretend and I can see it anyway ;)

Is there anyone who’s experienced helping their parents get health insurance? Specifically, they aren’t eligible for Medicare, make too little to qualify for ACA subsidies, and cannot get employer-provided insurance. Only option is to pay standard premiums - and if that ultimately is the case, fine. Not trying to find loopholes, but given their low-income, would be nice to know if there are programs I’m not finding in my rsch.
