[quote=Anonymous]Are you doing more for your parent than your other siblings?

My mom does the majority of the work for her
Mom who has 24/7 care but my mom goes over 2-3x a day to give the medicine (medicine was going missing with the aides) and is the one who goes over if an aide or nurse calls out.  She also works FT.  She has three siblings within 5-10’minutes two are retired and very wealthy who visit infrequently and barely help at all.  My mom’s car died and her mom told her to take her car.  The siblings weren’t told but understand considering my mom has been the main caregiver for 2+ years (she and one brother share POA and co/executors).

For an entire year my mom was the caregiver all night and most days after 12.  She asked her siblings to find more caregivers because her mom did not want to live in a nursing home and has enough money for 24/7 care.  Siblings did nothing or very little so it was something my mom also had go do.

So yeah she gets the nice car, but she earned it and deserves it and if her siblings said anything I would roast them.  But they don’t complain because they do very little (and they don’t need the car).

I would calculate that.  I think it’s fine to tell your siblings but I think you’ll also have to calculate will you be the one driving your parent to all their appointments?  Are you going to be the main or one of the main caregivers?  Usually that person gets something extra or they should.  It is totally draining.

My mom hasn’t visited her grandkids
Because she has to take care of her own mother and it took me begging her siblings to cover a long weekend so she could go on a
Trip with a friend.
