[quote=Anonymous]Our mother is 90. She's always been a PITA. We have two siblings who live near her -- a sister who never liked her, and a brother who has always loathed her. My sister now does just about everything for her. My brother does nothing. I send money and leave everything up to my sister. So far as I am concerned, it's my sister's choice to do what she's doing. If she wants to do less for our mother and we need to pay someone else to step in, fine, I'll send more money. But the choices she is making when it comes to how and how not to help are her own. The big difference between our dynamic and OP's is that my sister is mature enough to recognize that these are her choices and that we couldn't do more because even if we wanted because -- as others have said -- we are NOT THERE. My advice is to disengage. [/quote]
