[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm shouldering responsibility for both (divorced) parents despite being one of six siblings and the only one with kids. Even so, I think that this letter would annoy me rather than make me want to be more involved. Siblings don't always share every detail of what absorbs their financial, time, and emotional resources. While my siblings can see my kids, I can't see other challenges they may face that keep them from helping me help Mom and Dad. It is better, I think, to simply list the needs and ask if they can help in anyway without decrying your burden. Just as you (and I) chose to have kids, you (and I) are choosing to be the caretaker for elderly parents. If there really is no one willing to assist, the state steps in.[/quote] +1 and it has already been said but you need to do this over the phone, not via email[/quote]
