It doesn’t unless they want to make the changes in their outlook or lifestyle themselves. We went through this with my father in law, and it took a huge toll on my husband and our relationship

It does not :(
It’s much easier to care for an infant because you see them learn, grow, develop, hit milestones and it’s a delight to watch. Caring for aging parent is the opposite, you see them slowly break down until they pass away. Consider getting someone to help/watch them for a few hours so you can take a break.

Hi Ladies, I’m 31 yrs old I‘m in birth control right now and will be starting Stims from 08/29 as part of IVF treatment. This is my first time IVF, all my results are normal but due to male factor had to go with IVF, and my insurance is not covering for my drug:Follistim-900 unit Pen/Gonal-F, my doctor prescribed Follistim. So I was doing price match for both in Freedom fertility and Village Pharmacy. I see Follistim is costing $2741 and Gonal-F is $847(due to some discount), which is best one?
