In my (33F-single) case:
My parents are both nearing 70. My mom recently asked me or my younger brother to move back to our hometown to help take care of them. She’s worried that if something happens to my dad, she wouldn’t know what to do ,especially since they live in an area where neighbors aren't close by, and services like Grab or Gojek aren’t available. But overall they are still in heathy condition for their age. On the other hand, my lil brother is already in serious relationship with her GF, probably expecting marriage in near future and her GF want to stay in Tangerang.
At the same time, I just received an offer from one of my dream companies in Jakarta. I am unemployed at the moment (doing some freelancing), so before the offer, I already decided to join my mom and dad early next year in their hometown and basically will do a very small business with them.
I’d love to hear from others who’ve been in a similar situation, how did you navigate it? Or what do you guys think I should do?
Thanks in advance!

Terima kasih cerita pengalaman dan inputnya ya komodos, banyak kasih POV baru buat saya. Sepertinya saya akan renungkan dulu sendiri sebelum diskusin dengan keluarga! Thanks all!
