1. When my children tell me I should no longer drive, I will believe them and quit. I know they love me.
2. When it becomes apparent that I need help, I will accept it from outsiders because my children can not do everything.
3. It is up to me to make my life fulfilling. I must stay active and learn to entertain myself so I do not become a burden to my children.
4. If my children tell me I am no longer safe being alone, I will believe them.
5. I will get my legal affairs in order and trust the advice of professionals so there will be no problems about money or property down the road (Ed Note: I will come back to haunt you if there is trouble.)
6. I will not complain about feeling poorly. My children cannot fix my health and such complaints are emotionally draining for them.
7. My children are not indentured servants. I will remember to thank them for everything they do for me.
8. I will avoid making my children feel guilty. Age is no excuse for manipulative behavior.
