[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The suggestion that your sister should quit her job to provide 24-hour care for your parents while living under your financial thumb is absurd, and calls into question how reasonable or rational any of your other “helpful” suggestions are. [/quote]

From OP's earlier thread, the sister lives with the parents, and it seems to me that she may be one reason that parents don't want to sell the house and move elsewhere -- where would their daughter go?

Or maybe sister doesn't want them to sell the house.[/quote]

My sister can move into the condo in the beach town with them, taking the second bedroom and bath, and thinks this is a great solution. When they pass, she can remain there as she's over 60 herself. The complex is very excited at that prospect as she is certified in fitness for the elderly and want her to work for them, as well as to work independently as a contractor with whomever would want to hire her. The key was to find an elderly community that is not invested in providing assisted living. They tend to provide very little assisted living and have strict rules and high costs regarding live in help.

The "I won't leave" alternates between father and mother. That's not my sister's fault as she has just as much 'control' as I do. She *could* abandon them and force the issue, but I'm not going to tell her what to do. It's not my place to do so. [/quote]
