[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m an Only child. People would often say “it must be so hard to not have siblings to share to load” when I was dealing with my elderly parents. And I would have to explain that I was grateful it was just me. I could make decisions without having to negotiate or coordinate with siblings. [/quote] +1 I had a brother growing up who died years ago, so I am taking care of my elderly mother by myself. When things are difficult, I sometimes wish I had someone to share the load. But in so many cases that I know of, it is often one sibling who does the brunt of the worlk while the others meddle and criticize. This occurs even in “functional “ families.[/quote]
