[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, most people help their parents willingly and lovingly. Sorry you feel so used.  They are old OP, maybe they didn’t feel comfortable trusting strangers in their home.[/quote]

OP here. Wow it's easy to be on your high horse if you either did caregiving for a kind parent or didn't do the caregiving and got to just enjoy pleasant interactions. I think if you have never been treated like crap by someone it's easy to judge. You really should be more respectful to the people who do the real work for their families and need to vent about how poorly they get treated in return.[/quote]

Sorry to be so harsh, but I moved my father into my home and took care of him until he died. I managed hospice workers plus my own family.  You mentioned siblings, but why are they not helping? Somehow I think your parents have always been takers and you imagined they would be different?  [/quote]

NP here. It’s extremely common for siblings to be unhelpful and put all the load on one sibling.[/quote]
