[quote=Anonymous]My husband and I give daily care to my MIL. One of his siblings lives nearby, but doesn’t do much of the hands-on care. It’s just not in her personality, nor does it fit in her schedule. I manage all of aspects of finding, hiring, managing and paying (vis Medicaid) for her caregivers. For this part, I feel under-appreciated. My husband meddles by telling the caregivers they aren’t needed on certain days, and giving them more leeway with their schedules than is prudent. He also expects me to take off of work when they’re absent. I had to shut that part down. Other than those complaints, it mostly works out. MIL occasionally gets upset when I do things like leave town to see my family or friends. Her world is very small, and her outlook is kind of child-like, even though she has all of her mental abilities. This is just how it is when you care for the elderly. [/quote]
