[quote=Anonymous] [/quote] My sentiments exactly. Are you desperately in need of money OP? The whole thing stinks but maybe you have a unique situation [/quote] After my father died I spent hundreds of hours moving my mom, driving her around, taking her to many appointments, spending days in the hospital and never charged my mom. Seven years later I am OVER it, she gives money to my sibling because they make lousy choices and I'm the shmuck who is running around like a chicken without a head. Take the money because you may feel resentful down the line. It doesn't have to be $80/hour but it is a burden. Unless you have been in this position you shouldn't judge. The shaming the poster above made is rude. It is a thankless task and although I did it with love after 5 years I was being used because my mom refused to hire a caretaker.[/quote]
