[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the  dumbest "complaint" I have ever heard.  OP is already doing 90% of the work for one elderly relative, and is upset that she doesn't have to do the same for 2 others, who don't live nearby?

OP, you should be doing a jig, not being angry about this.  Get a grip.  [/quote]

Because she has to talk to him about everything and he controls everything including the money.[/quote]

This is so true about asking for permission!! Poster is right to be hurt. 
  I was in same situation. Had to ask my brother for everything- moved my parents near me and he held all the purse strings- he had to sign the checks etc. when we sold her house- i had to wait for him on phone at closing for hour  he failed to sign one of the forms. So sitting at closing and late for my sons graduation almost - i had it.
   Realize he was busy but to do the heavy lifting and have to have him hold all the money and signing rights for things I was managing was very tough. He did agree. It really drove a wedge between us as I felt angry I had to ask him and he always was busy and frustrated I needed him yo do things “now” which he understood but was tough. 
  My parents should have talked to us and set the plan up with all on how best this would work.[/quote]
