[quote=Anonymous]My family has a somewhat similar situation. My father lives on the west coast (my mother died several months ago.) One brother lives out there near him, I live in the DC area, and our other brother lives in the middle. The local brother does a lot of the things that you describe doing (doctors appointments, taking care of issues with assisted living, etc.) He is also the one with POA for medical issues and all financials. Literally for a few years now, other brother and I have been telling local brother that he should pay himself for the hours of work he puts in to my parents care. He finally just started a few months ago. He pays himself $25/hr. for any care related stuff, and $35/hr for any accounting/financial related stuff he does. He chose the amount. Your sibling does not need to justify to you why he/she does not come visit. It's none of your business. [/quote]
