[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The are very similar--it's about time employers recognize it too and accommodate those that take care of elderly.[/quote]

Neither should be "accommodated."  [/quote]

So people with a terminally ill parent should just not make a living anymore????[/quote]

Most elderly care is not for terminal people and then you bring in hospice and other supports.  This has nothing to do with employment.  [/quote]

That's not how reality works for many of us.  I'm glad you can do it, but for me, elderly care took a toll on my career and hospice could only do so much.  What do you do when it's not within 6 months of death, but the condition is still serious.  [/quote]

I did 24/7 care for about a year then nursing home and was still there frequently and managing everything.  It was a ton of work but it doesn't have to do with employment. You do it nights/weekends/hire a caregiver/nursing home.  You make it work.  We did it for years.[/quote]
