[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My brother hasn’t visited my mother in the nursing home for six months. My dad died in January and we had the reading of the will and it appears that he concluded that he gets the same amount on my mothers death no matter how he behaves so why show up and be kind and help? She keeps asking for him. It’s horrible. Also wondering if there is a pattern where women step up and men don’t. [/quote] It's not always a gender divide, but women doing invisible labor vs men doing what they want is absolutely part of this. [/quote] I get the invisible labor thing, but I don't understand *why* people don't want to show up for their loved ones. Or do they just not care? I can't imagine just ignoring my elderly parents. It's not difficult to visit someone for a few hours. My DH was very helpful to his mom until she died. It's so weird to me that people act this way. [/quote]
