My Dad retired when he was 36, and expected me, my mum and my twin sister to bring in the household income. I was 20 when this happened (they were very young when they had us) and I hadn't finished school yet, and when I asked him why he said he "Just couldn't be bothered anymore" and he's totally convinced it was the right thing to do, he's 40 now and he won't work still, and I hate the fact my own father is a leech off me even though I moved out last year.
My advice is just don't put pressure on him too much or he won't work at all, but just try and slide him into a working habit by just doing jobs around the house or maybe try and get him into some part time work with maybe just a few hours a day or if he's not up to that at first, just a few hours a week and he might want to do more.
It's not fair he expects you to work full time and he just sit around on his backside all day. That's what my parents ended up like and it wasn't pretty. Best of Luck!
My husband does not want to work!!
