[quote=Anonymous]OP, you are listing out who has kids, who has what obligations as though we should come up with an equation you present of a person must do. One of my kids has SN and I recall falling into this mindset. I could list for you all the things I have going on and then describe my siblings as having endless free time to take on more. It does not matter! In the end you figure out your limits and that is it.

You don't know what everyone truly has going on. You may not know who has a new cancer diagnosis or mental illness. There are endless things that go into the equation that you are not factoring so stick to your own boundaries and setting them and don't waste time feeling that a single person MUST do more than she/he is doing and all of that. Work with reality.

Nobody can dump it all on you and run without your consent. If the parents have money you figure out how to outsource. If they don't, you work with the council on aging to figure out what they can access. then you decide what you are willing to do as well.[/quote]
