Afraid,
I am the only one living with my parents here in my entire county in southern Idaho. I know this because when I had the nerve to apply for food stamps, they told me so. The county insists I work part-time. They always bring up the subject that I have placed myself in a severe financial bind.
I'm glad to hear that your sisters are pleased that you are there. My situation is a little different. My sister lives alone, three miles away. She has her own home and yard. It is very important to her that she doesn't live here. Both of my brothers are married. Their wives, my sisters-in-law, are concerned that I am going to inherit the house and leave them with nothing.
I got in trouble here on the message board because Easter came the same weekend as the World Championship in figure skating. I have inherited the problem of being hostess at all family gatherings. Do you have that problem, too? When my sister and her family show up, they are important company. My sister expects to be waited on. I am supposed to forget that Johnny Weir is in second place after the short program and listen to all her problems. She has a whole bunch. Sometimes, she does politely ask me what I am doing. We have had rows because she is not interested in the things I am interested in.
Normally, I tell her I am fine.
