[quote=Anonymous]OP, I disagree that "everyone is busy". Sorry but I wouldn't expect my relatives who care for a severely SN child to have the same degree of responsibility in this situation as those of us who are able bodied. I also wouldn't expect the same from a struggling single parent as I might a local, married, employed, childless couple. Your sisters will bitch no matter what you do, so do what you want. What I would do is pay the movers or any other vendors directly. Say, "I'll volunteer to pay for (x) vendor. Please have him or her send me a bill (or a quote) or call me so I can arrange payment information." It is not the same when you are local or childless. It's just not. Just as sometimes you have to devote more parenting resources to one child who has the greatest need, sometimes as children those of us with more flexibility need to step up. Each according to their ability to bear, if you will. [/quote]
