Is it healthy for my two toddlers to live in the same house as my sick elderly father?

What is your father's illness?

Is he contagious?
If not,i don't se a problem

Unless something is going wrong, your toddlers may learn compassion in life by example. If something else is happening, that would be a different story. You haven't shared how your Dad's illness has taken a toll on everyone. Is it the assistive care that he needs, or is it just hard to see him sick or suffering and you all feel helpless? Your toddlers' health depends on your handling of the situation and the balance you and the other adults may add to their lives. They are more resilient than adults, in my opinion. Hope your situation works to your satisfaction, ultimately.

My daughter helped take care of her DAD who had cancer and passed away, then helped take care of my DAD who had heart problems.She's 10 now and is the most compassionate human being I have ever known. Our ordeal has made her wise beyond her years. I wished everything could have been the way we had first dreamed it would have been. I wanted to be a good role model and my dad was a good role model for me. She is super little girl. I don't understand why my brothers are so cold and uncaring.Why is it always one sibling with the most compassion?Why is it mostly female?

It depends upon what kind of illness he has, it's symptoms and how it affects the others in the household. Another consideration is : How big is the house? If you have a large spread, then everyone can live their own way. If it's a tiny three-bedroom with one family room, one tv and one dining table, then there may be a problem. I love Caregiverslight's response.
