[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven't read all of the posts, but I agree with you, OP. My only point is this -- sometimes people who aren't there every day genuinely don't know what to do to be helpful. If you do it all the time, you know. If you don't, you feel awkward and don't want to step on toes or upset routines that work for others. The more that the caregiving sibling can offer concrete suggestions or requests for how to help, the better. Some things are really obvious, but others might not be.[/quote] Absolutely. One very important suggestion is don't give advice and be appreciative. I think some on here are angry they don't get physical help, some are fine with it, but I think everyone would agree that if you aren't involved at all be gracious and appreciative and don't offer advice without understanding the situation fully.
