[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of you are kidding yourselves if you think you can “just pay someone” to tend to an elderly family member’s every errand and need. First of all, who is managing and tasking all this help? That in itself takes work. Secondly, a bunch of paid errand runners are not providing the comfort and love of a family member being near. I mean wow, how removed are you from your families to think you can just outsource the care of your sick mother and say “send me the bill?” OP you are doing something compassionate and right and you should not let these people make you think otherwise. [/quote] You can hire a case manager who has a bunch of subcontractors. Sometimes strangers are better . They turn on the charm and the parent behaves better for them or not. My parents contracted out a ton for us growing up. Yes we were helpless children, but they prioritized staying sane.[/quote]
