I was hoping that people on the other side of the pond would have at least
some very different ideas...
So Nathan, have you left your family to go live with an ailing parent for
months? Have you driven a thousand miles a week for months to help them?
Did you still have someone to come home to after doing this? Did the someone
you come home to have to deal with a very similar problem at the same time?
Did your neighbors complain about the four foot high weeds at your own house
after it was abandoned for a couple months?
Phone calls are cheap. Sounds like a great solution.

It is all about priorities. I am shocked to hear about the person who would
not be able to visit his mother every day if she lived 15 miles away. And
you call your father every few weeks? When both my parents were alive, I
called them once a day; after my mother died 10 years ago and my father was
alone for the remaining 3 years of his life, I called him morning and
evening. I lived in Switzerland and the Netherlands during that time and my
parents lived in Denmark, so we are talking international calls, but
fortunately these are a lot cheaper now than they used to be.
To each his own, I suppose.
