Although you may be changing roles with your parents and find yourself in charge and making decisions, the process of arranging and managing their care will be easier if you take time to understand things from their point of view and learn about their wishes and how all of this is impacting them. Take the time to get to know them again; this time as people, not just your parents. You may have grown up in their house, but just as you have grown and changed, so have your parents. Don't make assumptions; some things indeed will never change, but other things may surprise you.
