[quote=Anonymous]I don't know. I sat by my dad's bedside at the nursing home many evenings after work. I hated that he was so sick but visiting him wasn't exactly "work". It was more of an obligation and just helped to ensure that he was receiving good care at the nursing home. I did it because he was my dad. Arranging for the logistics of a move and preparing a house for sale is work. Especially if the parent is checked out and is of little help or - worse - is uncooperative. If the parent is still able to make decisions, handle some of the logistics, is able to make financial decisions for themselves then you would be playing more of a support role. But if you are doing role up your sleeves work (like painting, heavy yard work) to prepare the house for sale - I would consider that work.[/quote]
