[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, what does your sister say about you arranging and managing aides? Does she find that helpful? It’s hard for to me imagine as the local kid, because when I am juggling life, several children, elders, I need to be in control of the schedule. If that is truly working for you and your sister, great. If she isn’t expressing that it’s working I would ask.

Sister has to be the eyes on the aides and services. It’s a different kind of caretaking but it’s still a lot, and although you seem to be the main target, I’m guessing sister catches some ire too.

[i]I think all you can do is try to improve communication with your sister and maybe seek some therapy for yourself. It’s a painful spot that you are navigating and some support might bring you some peace and clarity. Finally, if mom can afford 24/7 aides she can probably afford a care manager. Maybe sister would be open to that, which would actually remove significant time and mental load.[/i] [/quote]
+1, and the highlighted is especially good advice[/quote]
