[quote=Anonymous]I do a ton for my parents. I have cut back on work hours. However, they have already given me a large inheritance. We now have full time care for both my parents at home. For both of them and given that they often need two on one care, it costs 250k per year. That’s pretty expensive. I can understand why most people are afraid of that expense. I don’t think it’s a good idea for adult kids to cut back on work hours to do elder care unless it’s very very needed or short term or the adult kids don’t mind due to inheritance, etc. Howeber, many of the things you list are things I do for my parents even though they now have caregivers. I want ere for doctors visits. You don’t want other people shredding sensitive documents etc. I do recommend you focus on your career. Also, your moms anger might be dementia so try not to take it too personally. [/quote]
