[quote=Anonymous]An hour to your parents afterwork and an hour back, just for a 30 minute visit is insane. Add in the extra costs and it is even worse. It takes those hours away from your children’s parent time.  They need parent time.  I don’t think that is a feasible option.  Traffic can mess that up completely too. You live too far away to pride daily care.  You can offer to come not he weekends for an afternoon to spell your Dad.  I am with your wife just with that schedule and not all the past baggage that is lying around.

Putting your children first is your priority.

If your Mom is already on disability, there may be day places for her to go during the day.  Check  those out.  They maybe discounted for someone on disability.  Does your Mom have a county social worker assigned to her?  This is where your wife may be able to help- since she may know of programs that are available.

You do need to have a tak with f your father and your sister and be able to set your boundary.  You live too far away to help on a daily basis.
