What would you do, if you are retired, and your child ask you to be near her.

One of my sisters was face with the decision of selling a nice property that she bought after she retired, having raise two children, send them to college, paying for her daughter first wedding, taking care of two grandchildren, after everybody told her not to do that, she went ahead and sold this nice property out in the country to run after her daughter and her grandchildren, a little over a year later, her daughter married again, is very happy and has a new beautiful house, now my sister wants to buy another property in the same place, and the prices have gone up so much, that she can not afford it this time.
What would you do? would you do the same mistake as much as you love your children?

I have had daughters that have needed help thru dificult times. Your sister instead, of selling her property if she wanted to help, should have had her daughter come to her not the other way around. Or if not the daughter then the grandckids until the mother got her life together. She had other options but choose not to take them. Personally I have had my children come to me when they need help. If they don't want to come then they really don't want my help.

I agree with you craftwave, but even if she had to stay in her daughter's house, which she is any how, if she would of kept her property in the country, she would have been there now.
You can't follow them around, I have three of my own all grown up already, and I go visit them, maybe stay a few days, then come back to my sweet little old house,is old, but mine!!
Thank You so much
