[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Re:people mentioning caregivers steeling. According to a few websites it is totally appropriate for those who say give up their jobs to be caregivers or go part time to them compensate themselves for their time. My own mother was annoyed my aunt did this, but I say God bless this woman for taking on the role of caregiver. Yes, my grandma was in assisted living, but my aunt moved her there, took her to appointments, visited on a regular basis, dealt with endless complaints, siblings BS. Her time is valuable too. I assume people don't consider this robbing because I certainly don't.[/quote]

You think it's ok for caregivers to help themselves as fair compensation?[/quote]

Yes, it was a fraction of what an actual hired caregiver would cost. You think someone should lose their income and caregiver for free while siblings hold down jobs, enjoy the income, take vacations and don't lift a finger? I would rather a loving family member get some compensation than hire a stranger for a fortune more. [/quote]
