[quote=Anonymous]I am the only sibling living nearby our mother so unfortunately I am responsible for many tedious tasks such as doctor visit, paying bills, doing taxes, getting called by the facility if she falls or she needs something like more toothpaste. It is never ending. She is now in memory care after being in assisted living. Every time my two siblings visit they expect me to join them taking our mother out to eat or expect me to host a birthday gathering or a family meal. I see her enough and have no desire to see her more than I do. I want a couple days off from being called. I don’t want to get up early on a Sunday and get her ready for brunch. My siblings are now upset I no longer will join in any gathering with them if it involves my mom. What I need from them is to come take her to the dentist or eye doctor but they are never willing to do that. I don’t understand how they fail to realize I need a break. [/quote]
