[quote=Anonymous]I love my mom but taking care of her is burdensome and so much work and money that it is a drain or me and my family. She was a good mom but isn’t as nice now that she is elderly and her memory is going. It’s extremely taxing and takes all my time, and she refuses to do little things that would make it easier out of stubbornness. She also has this perspective that I owe her because she was a good mom. I don’t owe her. I appreciate that she did the best she could and I feel bad for her so took her in, but I don’t owe her this and that attitude gets old. I am sure I will still miss my mom but being with her 24/7 and being her caretaker is no picnic and is a big strain on our relationship and my own with my family. I won’t do this to my kids. I will find alternative care and then maybe they will miss me when I am gone and still have mainly fond memories. This sucks. [/quote]
