[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again. Sibling just called our mom. Was on the phone with her almost an hour and had to end the call- mom went down the list of DC and GC and even our ILs and complained that a whole summer went by and she didn’t get to see us enough.

Mom proclaimed that there’s not a more loving and devoted mom and once again, her family simply doesn’t do enough for her and she is having such a hard time dealing with the fact that her GC are grown and independent - as if she raised these children.

Now mom is on predictable course. Health concerns and facing surgery and lamenting that we’re not looking after her and will soon need to be shuttling her to appointments and on and on.

Unreasonable expectations. She expressed jealousy that my ILs (a decade younger) get to see my DC more than she does.

She’s acting like a spoiled brat.[/quote]

Actually you are acting that way. You deserted your mother for your job, family, dcum complaints, and anything else that’s taking priority over her- your mother, your blood, your family. One day I hope you see the error of your ways and realize you have only one mother and should love and respect her through all the days of her life. You may love her, but you’re certainly not showing her respect. Call your mother 5 minutes every other day, build a good relationship, love her, respect her, show her you care. She raised you for 18+ years and did the best she could. Now you can’t be bothered with her? That’s a very sad and selfish situation. She is in the last days of her life and should not go out of it with children that do not respect her or show her love. I hope you apologize before she passes so you don’t live with the regret in your older years when your own children see the example you’re setting and treat you the same way.

It’s very difficult to be elderly and alone and I wish that upon no one. I am a caretaker for an elderly parent and the decline is staggering, days are difficult, love is abundant. My parent is heartbroken at times by other siblings that rarely check in but rarely say anything. Yes there are days they are manipulative, days they are tired, days they are happy, days they are full of life, days where you’re fighting to keep them in this world. It’s a difficult experience to watch someone grow old and decline but at least I know that they will not leave this world feeling deserted or unloved. Call your mother today, tomorrow is not promised.[/quote]

This has to be a troll.  :roll: [/quote]
