[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry OP. Yet you also need to remember that your siblings have a right to be informed and have a say in major care decisions too. It's not all "unsolicited advice." It sounds like you need better communication channels, and yes, to stop being a martyr. [/quote] I think it has to do with how a person communicates with the sibling who is doing the heavy lifting. If you aren't there, you need to listen to the information before jumping to conclusions and giving advice. I think people need to be careful too. If you think you know so much better than the person actually there and yopu cannot treat that person with respect, then you also need to be prepared to step up to the plate and either move the parent near or in with you or take a leave of absense and come see what is really going on. Also, if the caregiver loses it, you will have no choice but to do more than your share.[/quote]
