[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your sibling has no standing to sue. NONE whatsoever.

Please pay yourself honestly, if your father agrees and this is something you really need.

I will note that for most of the middle class, adult children would never dream of making their parents pay for their help. I have never actually heard of such an arrangement as yours. My best friend and her husband and teen spent multiple weeks sorting through their mother's stuff before moving her to assisted living, paying for sundries, etc... and none of that labor was paid.

I find your nickel and diming a little distasteful, but if you're desperately in need of money, and it makes your father have a more attentive and willing helper... sure, go ahead.

I am UMC and don’t see it as distasteful at all! My parents were the absent siblings and my aunts that were local and could help should have been paid.

I would say it’s nickel and diming to be charging when you’re already at Costco and grab your dad toilet paper too. I would charge for 2 hour plus helping me times. [/quote]
