[quote=Anonymous]OP I found that if there is money it is best to hire people to do the gruntwork you did so family sees how much it costs and you don't become resentful. Then you can visit and check on things and not be furious at what others don't do. My aunt and uncle informed my mom years ago they were finally going to pay themselves for all they did at the advice of a therapist. My mother, lovely person that she is, felt they were being unethical and she made them feel like they were stealing instead of being grateful for all they do and glad that they would be compensated. I wish they had hired people. My grandmother was terrible to them too and she behaved better for strangers. When I finally insisted we hire someone I heard endless complaining about how expensive it was. I just said "yes, you were fortunate I did that for free for so many years." Some people care more about an inheritance than they care ab out ethics and decency.[/quote]
