Description

I have offered to clean when I’m there, but my father seems to take this as an insult to his pride and then bans me from doing any cleaning. (Getty Images)

Dear Eric: My 92-year-old father and my 66-year-old brother live together in another state. My father lives at home, is completely functional, drives and can take care of himself. My brother is independent and takes trips frequently.
