[quote=Anonymous]My dad's in a nursing home. He receives full time, round the clock care. My mom, on the other hand, is living alone at their house and spends her days at my dad's bedside. Guess who needs more care and attention? My mom. She expects/wants/needs a daily phone call from one of her children. Really. She gets annoyed and angry if she has to call me and I'm local with a young family. My local brother has become her full time handyman, financial advisor and frequent overnight guest at her home. He's also the parent of a young family, so part of our issue is managing her expectations - she wants to stay in her house, live independently but everyone has to drop everything to help her.[/quote]
