[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The sibling in the caregiving role understands that a lot of things can't be outsourced to paid help. Those things that can be are often prohibitively expensive. Non-caregiving siblings often don't understand that.[/quote] ^^^ This. If you have other siblings you need to INSIST on respite time for you. I gave up way too much time to caring for elderly parents at the expense of my children and spouse. It was not appreciated. You actually have to be there and be doing it to understand the stress involved in caring for an elderly parent, even one in assisted living or with part time staff. [/quote] You want your siblings to come to your home (where there is part time staff or an assisted living facility close by) so that you can get away for a little vacation? [/quote]
