Are they still working or retired? It is own house? What interests do they have? How big is their friends circle there? What about relatives? Computer literacy? If you wish you may write to me at my id given in profile. I will surely try to suggest something which is workable.<br /><br />Take careJackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15896075408610203350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5853324654090739267.post-10382866664593438152009-06-28T19:26:12.065+01:002009-06-28T19:26:12.065+01:00Hey dear.. it happens u know..

I think this is something that all parents now a days are aware of since beginning but then yeah its difficult when their nest actually becomes empty.. As Deeps suggested maybe u can take a week or so off.. no work is so important that u cant take time off..u wud have taken time off if it was urgent.. right? treat this situation the same way naa.. <br />Anyways getting them to chennai doesnt sound that gr8 an option as in u will just move them from their comfort zone.. our parents are much stronger than what we perceive sweetie.. don't worry, they will be back to their useful self pretty soon.. every change needs adjustment. Give them time. <br />With such adorable and sensible daughters, they are a content lot.Ashmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04452678335621852224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5853324654090739267.post-31534174583621388262009-06-27T19:51:30.388+01:002009-06-27T19:51:30.388+01:00@Abhi- You are very correct
@Satish - The option w...@Abhi- You are very correct<br />@Satish - The option works fine.. but if you see to it, it will be a paradigm culture change for my parents to move down south. And moreover whatever be the case, they have their circle there, speak the same tongue, bump into people they know and are used to that life now for greater than 50 years. I am not sure how good it might be to make them move so drastically<br />@Deeps- What you said is right. I would love to take time off, but this being kinda middle of the year, I am in thick of work :(Amritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06075910411728252444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5853324654090739267.post-2977950625655919332009-06-27T14:35:43.652+01:002009-06-27T14:35:43.652+01:00I had written a monster comment three times and ev...I had written a monster comment three times and every time blogger gave me an error alert!!! Grrrrr!!<br /><br />All I want to say is its natural to feel guilty for not being able to be near your parents.But for what its worth,take solace in the fact that what matters more to them is that you are living a happy and a contented life and that assurance should help them to carry forward.<br />Having said that,my sincere advice would be to take some time off and be with them for some days till they can come to terms with the new routine in their lives.<br />Hope this helps :)Deepshttp://deepsspeakingup.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5853324654090739267.post-76213674743485063782009-06-27T05:35:49.783+01:002009-06-27T05:35:49.783+01:00Amirta, the best move wud be to move them to Chenn...Amirta, the best move wud be to move them to Chennai, that wud be a viable option for all. They will feel cmfy over the fact that your around and you are just a phone call away. I too was in the same situation 2 months back as I was shuttling between this graveyard city and chennai, then I moved my family here. At this time your parents needs you and your support and nothing more than that. This is my humble opinion :)Satish Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08400050492251132960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5853324654090739267.post-67569370997694206612009-06-27T04:52:05.782+01:002009-06-27T04:52:05.782+01:00I dont have any insights to give but i can certain...I dont have any insights to give but i can certainly say that parents are more sad when the younger kids moves outa home.. As a norm they think elder one has to go out n study, do jobs etc but the younger kid .. always remains a kid for them no matter how old .. so it takes a bit more time to get over itThe Furobikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11887484361810467760noreply@blogger.com
