[quote=Anonymous]I am one of four children, and the only one who lives near our parents, who are in their 90s. My siblings are far-flung; I do not expect them to fly in for medical emergencies, and there have been a few; and I'm sure they are doing all they can from where they are. We've had huge disagreements over whether my parents should stay in their home (my preference) or move to a senior community (they moved--probably safer, but...the move was traumatic). Relations are frayed right now. My siblings are very quick to tell me what to do, or more precisely to tell me what I am failing at doing: "You should visit once a day--just pop by"; "Take the car keys"; "Call the Smith family and see if they will visit." I don't want to snap at my siblings --"Why don't YOU do it?" but I often end up doing that. Suggestions welcome. After mom and dad die, I probably won't talk to two of them again. That's the way I feel now, anyway. [/quote]
