[quote=Anonymous]Been there, done that. It's very tricky to navigate, especially if you're not all on the same page about her. What I found helpful was to sit down with my sibling and talk in detail about what was actually a need of the parent, and what were just her wants/preferences. To the extent there were actual needs that had to addressed, sibling and I split those evenly. When it ventured into the territory of wants, a sibling could choose to take that on if they wanted to, but the other one wasn't obligated to share in that. Having laid it all out in advance and agreed helped to keep us from fighting later when someone felt like they were doing more, because it was clear based on our agreement that it was their choice to do more rather than an obligation.[/quote]
