    [quote=temeculaguy]I have read a number of books and spent hundreds of hours laboring over decisions in raising my kids. I’ve prided myself on their accomplishments, maturity, understanding and happiness. Until just now, I felt I had done a fantastic job, in fact, my first book is more than likley going to be a modern single dads guide to raising happy kids.

    But then i read svelte’s post and realized that no man ever did a better job raising their kids than svelte’s pops, he should write the book because any man that raises their kid and that kid grows up and sets up that scenario for him should be given a medal. Some parents want their kid to grow up and be a doctor, lawyer or even a president, I want my kid to grow up and be svelte.

    Bravo, keep spreading the happiness.[/quote]

    I anxiously await your book.

    ucodegen,

    Good post. Not TMI, and this is something EVERYBODY should discuss with their spouses, children and parents. For some reason, our society shuns any discussions about death and dying, to the point that people with young children refuse to get life insurance or set up a trust, will, guardianship, etc. It’s like they think that if they can ignore it (death), then it won’t happen to them.

    As for the question… Like TG, we are looking to buy a single-story or a two-story with at least one bedroom/bathroom downstairs. We are really hoping to get a house with a guest unit (like UCGal), which would be ideal.

    My parents have passed away, but I expect we’ll take care of my MIL at some point, and want to be prepared.

    One more thing…

    For those who are elderly or who have elderly parents, it’s a VERY good idea to have a “Vial of Life” on your refrigerator. When first responders come to a house, they will want to know if there is a DNR (do not resuscitate) order, medical history, medications used, family contact information, etc. They know to look for a Vial of Life, and it can be immensely helpful for all concerned. Technically, anyone can have one, but it’s very important for seniors to have one.
