[quote=Anonymous]OP here again. My siblings are like the person who posted early that they don't feel comfortable taking a parent out of the facility.

Of course it is easier for them for me to go get her or if I say no at least they are only bringing her to my house which is a couple of miles away.

Then the guilt trip starts about how our mother loves to have all her kids together and it is so much better meeting up as a family. Then they want to call extended family members my mom might enjoy seeing (although she will not remember seeing them within five minutes of leaving).

Also the problem with doing everything remotely is that often someone has to track down all the paperwork, such as getting the paper the IRS sent with a PIN number in order to pay taxes.

I reached a point last month I am flat out not falling for that anymore and am never willing to host in my house again or go with them to a restaurant.

So my post was out of frustration with the situation. My mom has sucked out so much out of my life and now has ruined my sibling relationships. Obviously she didn't plan to get dementia, but it just sucks all around. [/quote]
