[quote=Anonymous]This is might be a mental load situation. Siblings/children who are not physically close to the parent, when another sibling/ child is, will often abandon the mental load and physical caretaking. Your DH needs to tell his siblings what he needs. It is an unfair burden that one child ends up being the defacto caretaker and also has to specifically ask other siblings for support, but it's a scenario that plays out far too often. The siblings often cannot anticipate any needs you or the parent may have, because you always have the situation under control. It goes back to the same problem parents w/ younger children have with mental load and fair play. Learned incompetence[/quote]
