[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. We all live close to the AL facility. My father has asked them to respect the poa to no avail. I send out a message when I receive it from the facility. 2 weeks is if all is good and to touch base if no news. Plus we have Zoom calls with the family - although some sibs miss them. All can visit when they want, but some use various excuses as why they can't come for holiday meals, mothers day, etc. One good example, when 2 of my sibs visit they don't seem to remember mom is a diabetic and they give her sugary treats even substituting it fur a meal. Then mom's blood sugar spikes and she's on insulin again for a few days to a week. At the request of the facility, I have asked all of them, especially the 2 sibs to please not bring sweets into mom because the Drs have said so and the facility has her on a low sugar diet. But I'm controlling, yeah right! [/quote]

Your mom is an adult and has lived long enough to decide if she wants a surgery treat. Heaven forbid if I am 80 or 85 and one if my kids says I can NEVER have a dessert. I would rather die a couple years early than give up everything that brings some comfort and pleasure. Your two siblings bringing a surgery treat every once in a while to make your mom happy is what your mom wants. Why do you get to decide she can’t have it?

You really do seem quite controlling deciding who is shirking responsibility by spending Mother’s Day or another holiday with another loved one. That’s not up to you to control how your siblings spend their time. [/quote]
