My fourth blog for this assignment will reference Recommendation #35: "Inevitably, the parent will become a child while the child will become a parent."
As the previous three blogs have discussed, my mom is very reliant on me. Over the past few years, her reliance on me have gradually increased. While she used to be the one who cooked me meals, helped me pick out my clothes, and listened to me when I was upset, that role has shifted to me. I'm now the one who cooks meals for her, helps her choose outfits to wear, and listens to her vent. I love being there for my mom when she needs me, but twenty-one is a rough age to be at when parenting your own parent. Nonetheless, she was there for me when I was growing up, so I'm delighted to be there for her while she spends the next few decades growing.... down? :)
