[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not a burden to your family? Send it, send it, send it.

You've been doing a good job navigating a tough situation so far - you're appreciative, you're keeping your advice to yourself, and you're supporting your sister in the way she asks (money for respite care). Your sister probably feels tremendous guilt over the nursing home, and keeping this care going during the transition probably makes her feel better. It's possible that over the years, your sister will want to back off on the respite care, but let her drive the train on that.

Think about it this way - if you were doing it your way, and your sister didn't exist, you would have a TON more logistics, emotional labor, etc to deal with. Yeah, it might be a tenth of what your sister does, but that's still a lot. This of this as a fee for that service to your sister, and send the money. [/quote]

You're absolutely right on all fronts, and I appreciate the advice.  It's nice to see an adult on DCUM for a change.[/quote]

Good grief. Are you this condescending in real life? You do realize you are asking us for advice, right? You didn't have to do that.[/quote]

I directed that comment at one particular snide and nasty poster.  The rest of you have been helpful.  You’re right.  I apologize.  [/quote]
