You say you are a full time student. What are you studying, something in the health field? Will you be getting a full-time job at the end of your program? Can you work part-time - 10 hours maybe - while in school?

Your primary responsibility is to your children, not your parents. If your mother is bipolar and your father has early onset dementia, you are putting yourself and your children on a rollercoaster for the foreseeable future. Is that fair? Is that good parenting?

Your parents need a plan. And that may include a nursing home and/or memory care facility. Do you have durable power of attorney? If no, get it before your parents become incapable of signing. If they refuse to give it to you, it is a terrible idea for you to take responsibility for them without having the authority.

You have a lot to think about because children are involved. Their needs must come first.

As for the meals, you can try to plan meals together for the week so that everyone gets some input. If that doesn't help, and anyone complains, tell them to cook for themselves.
