[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am in a similar situation but am the close by sibling. Thankfully my mother has the means to handle the financial aspects of downsizing and I am just needed for logistics and organization. I have no expectation that my brother will do anything to help but that is more due to his personality than anything else. I agree with the PP's about writing the check and backing off. You aren't in a position to help aside from financially. If the moving quote was reasonable just pay it. The fact that your sister became aware very quickly that you had contacted the movers tells me that they (the movers) were upset by your call. [b]You need to be either all in or all out (aside from monetary help). Stop micromanaging from afar.[/quote][/b] Agreed. And honestly, you can work out a caregiving support system and come help out for a few days. Not easy, but you could do it. [/quote]
