[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let me guess, you’re the only daughter? The siblings who won’t help are brothers, right?

I was in a similar situation with my own Dad. The best thing you can do is try to find subsidized housing. The suggestion to contact your local agency on aging is a good one.

As much as you want to be a good daughter, you need to protect yourself and your children. Female caregivers often suffer ill health due to the demands on them.

It makes me angry when daughters are expected to handle things while sons are not. Why do we let this happen? We need to change these expectations for the next generation. I expect my sons to bear the same load as my daughters.[/quote]

I'm a guy and I take care of my elderly mom with no help from my sister, so get stuffed with your ignorant prejudices.[/quote]

Why are you insulting PP? You both agree?  Read the whole post. [/quote]

The attitude that "daughters have to do everything but sons are allowed to skate" is insulting, though very common on DCUM.[/quote]
