[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like my wife's aunt. She lives with her elderly parents who have dementia but refuses to do any caregiving. Never held down a job. Only dud out of four children. Something is off about her, maybe a personality disorder but I don't think actual mental illness (though who really knows). [/quote] I doubt she is not doing any caregiving. She’s probably doing a lot. Saying she’s a dud who doesn’t help her parents is probably something the rest of the siblings say to make themselves feel better about the fact she is doing a lot of work.[/quote] She doesn't though. Other family members are on a rotation to take care of them because she refuses. We recently visited for a week and the only help we witnessed was her bringing in the trash bins. She otherwise stayed in her basement room and came up for dinner (that we paid for, made and cleaned up). [/quote]
