[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What kind of money are you talking about? You send $300 a month or $6000?[/quote]

More than $300 and less than $6000.  We were paying for a non-professional to stop by my mother's house for a couple hours a day several days a week.[/quote]

Ok well I know from personal experience that isn't that much money. You're loaded according to you. Just send the $1000 a month and be done with it. These non professionals work for peanuts and you know it.[/quote]

Except we no longer need the non professional because she won't be living at home.  That's my point.[/quote]

But you were never sending that much to begin with. Now you're reimbursing your sister for her time, gas, mileage and everything else that goes with this ongoing care because every little need isn't covered by a home.[/quote]

The nursing home is practically right next door to her job.  Literally less than a minute away.  That was part of the appeal for her.  So there’s no gas or mileage involved.  As for reimbursing her for her time, nope—I’m not reimbursing her for her time visiting her mother.

In any event, as I noted in my first post, she specifically said she wanted the money to pay Larla for continuing to visit.  That’s what confuses me.

But whatever.  I’m paying it. [/quote]

Good because nobody agrees here that you aren't TA. Just pay the pittance and be grateful you don't have to keep running from your job to deal with your parent.[/quote]

But she doesn't have to either.  It's her choice.  And I'm being asked to pay for someone else to visit my mother.  Not her.[/quote]
