[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How long has your mom been in a home? And you haven't sold her house to help with this? Jesus christ, yall need to get on it! That will help out so much. [/quote]

Seriously, this is nuts.  You cannot demand siblings start kicking in, particularly when you admit they don't have excess funds, when there is a significant asset just sitting there waiting to be tapped.  [/quote]

you can demand the siblings help in many ways (time, money, etc) if they are complaining about the one sibling who has done years of caring for the other parent (and this one).  Just because they still live nearby does NOT make them responsible in any way.  It's time for the boys to step up financially as well.  [/quote]

Did you even read the post to which you responded?  If money is the issue, the house needs to be sold.  Until that is done, no one can demand that anyone, not even the siblings who haven't cared for Dad in the past, subsidize the cost of mom's care.  What about that is even remotely controversial?  [/quote]

And the brothers can get their a$$es up from Texas to help with the "selling of the house".  It should not all fall on the sister who already managed their dad's final years mostly herself.  
Unless the brothers offered to bring mom & dad closer to them to manage their elder care and were turned down, they need to step up and provide assistance big time.  Be it time or money, they need to do the grunt of the work. Not the sister who already dealt with it, not just the OP who also is more local and has done a lot.  [/quote]
