[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just a comment on the caring for elderly parents part. I have three brothers and they live a few miles from my parents. They're extremely thoughtful, sensitive guys. And THEY were the ones in front lines of helping my mom when my dad was very ill. I live four hrs away so a lot of it was geographic proximity, but my brothers were always there with my mom during nights at the hospital, etc, and continue to help my mom do anything and everything she needs at her house. I just think it's important to remember that while it may be generally true that daughters often care more for elderly parents, that's not ALWAYS the case. What's important is to raise kind, good people. That's who my brothers are and why they stepped up to help my parents. [/quote]

To add to this: my dad is the primary caregiver for my grandparents. His sister is not at all helpful!  I happen to think a lot of it is financial resources. My dad can afford to pay for help so he's not actually wiping butts or driving to appointments. [/quote]
