[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe do it as a Google sheet so everyone abs access to the time/costs? Transparency now may help later. [/quote]

Best lesson in life - my father had a sibling who hoarded nearly everything for herself and her children from their grandmother’s modest estate. If she liked a bauble or a vase my dad had bought for their mom, she took it. OTOH, my mother’s family was very focused on equal-equal. Sometimes it was a little pathological, but it really shaped me to be transparent with my siblings in re our parents’ care and to suggest this to others if they ask about these issues with me. DH handles nearly everything for his parents and I’ve stressed to him that he MUST tell his sister what he does, especially as she is banking on an inheritance and may go ballistic if she finds out their expenses stripped all their money. As long as she is informed, then she should probably be fine. The parents had money but did not anticipate the astronomical increase in medical/nursing costs for their later years.[/quote]
