[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you don’t care if they spend every dime they have on expensive nursing homes, move away now. Caring for elderly parents is grueling work with no compensation and no appreciation. My siblings got away and I did not. It sucks. [/quote] My eldest brother has my mom living with him. Both are financially well-off. My middle brother and I are very aware what it means for my brother to be responsible for my mom. So, we take turns to come and stay with him and help him with his big projects. Thankfully, my brother has a daily cook, attendant for my mom, someone to clean the house, laundry services etc. My mom oversees the management of the staff. In the end, it all works out. You need to ask for help. Your elderly parents are everybody's responsibility - you all have to give labor, time, money. [/quote]
