We were eating leftovers and fast foods,, driving to shop when we shouldn’t have been driving anymore (especially in the snow), using only 2 or 3 rooms of our family houses (alone, usually) and looking for more. In my case having the availability of nursing care, etc., made my children quite happy, although I am quite active in this full care community.
