[quote=Anonymous]We have the same HHI and it would be a struggle to come up with $10 tomorrow.  Well, not a struggle in the sense that we have it in a money market, but our savings are thin.  It would be 50% of our cash savings (pathetic, I know, compared to most of DCUM).

You come acorss as very firm and no nonsense in your posts - very autocratic, this is the way it has to be.  i wonder if you sat down with your sibling and discussed this in a back and forth way.  As presented, it seems you have have decided X and X it will be.  There is no wiggle room or compromise in your presentation.  Maybe your sibling disagrees with your approach.

I understand taking care of parents, particularly parents who have sacrificed for you.  But there is more than one way to approach this, and perhaps if you present this in a way to your sibling as here is the problem, what is the solution maybe you can reach an agreement.

Right now, your solution is you give me $10K, and sibling is baling.  I think your actual question should be - how should my sibling and I work together to resolve parents problem?  Not here is my solution, COMPLY, dammit.  [/quote]
