[quote=Anonymous]The smartest thing my sibling did was to move out of the country as a 30 year old newlywed. Avoided all aspects of decision-making, obligations, expectations and responsibilities regarding our aging parents. Our late parents were unusually organized -nearly obsessed with estate planning, premade funeral and burial arrangements, had an estate planning and trust, etc. I remained “behind” and lived in between my parents and ILs. I have always had a tenuous relationship with my ILs and for a variety of reasons, will not be assisting either in any way shape or form as they age. It would be odd for me to suddenly “help” (and I’ve offered) so I’m off the hook. The ILs refuse to help themselves and are stubborn and unwilling to receive any assistance or advice. So no, I’m not putting my life on hold for parents and ILs. Life has to go on. [/quote]
