One cool advantage of being home most days is that I get be there to care for my family. My dad had a wisdom tooth extracted today and needed a ride. Because I didn't have anywhere else pressing to be, I was able to drive him there, wait (while reading a fascinating book about Starbucks), get him home and down on the couch and then pick up his prescription. That might seem like a chore to most people, but I think it's one of the reasons that I'm not working right now - to help those around me, including Chipmunk Cheek :)

You are wise to embrace opportunities to serve your parents. It's not so much payback as it is simply the joy of being needed and fulfilling someone's need.
