Resettling

Looks like we will be moving to a new area as part of our family planning.Mum has been a home maker for our three girls. First in Singapore , where she was looking after our grand daughter till she was ole enough to go to nursery .That settled she moved back to KL to look after after grandson who is now 6 years and ready to be quite independent. We are now needed or she is now needed for our youngest grand son .Our youngest daughter has got her new house and wants us to move in with her. Probably this will mean another couple of years more before the little fella can be sent to nursery and then time for us to move again.This coincides well with my career plans as I see myself being professionally active for another couple of years by which time my succession plan will see my juniors be competent enough to handle the business. Both of us would like nothing better than to be back in our own abode however humble it may be .It is the home which we built , in which our children grew up and once you come to your twilight years I guess that is the place you want to spend your last days. Staying with the children is fine. they treat us well and the in laws also get along with us without any problems. That is because we know how to play our roles as parents and in laws, be seen and not heard, give opinions when you are asked, ask no questions, listen when you are being told and know how to create as little problem to the children and in laws as possible.I believe mum has done a great job , looking after the grandchildren ,handing them over to the parents when they are ready and making home logistics a non factor for the busy parents. Moving to a new place would mean she has to make new friends and she will probably miss all her cronies in Ara Damansara but she has great PR and will surely find new friends in a jiffy.For me it will probably mean getting lost a couple of times as it always takes me time to know the roads and recognize them.But we will manage as the thought of being helpful to our daughter in her hour of need makes all these little things seem unimportant.
