[quote=Anonymous] I have found there are definitely people who will make grand gestures with offers of help (even selfish siblings who should help), but the time comes they do almost nothing. I found if I can't be there as often, it is best to hire someone to manage things assuming she can afford it. Then you are paying the person for the time and it's contractual. It's incredibly frustrating your relatives offered to do a monumental task and didn't. Their mistake is offering, but it really isn't someone to expect of them. Many of us with siblings felt alone too. You just have to figure out your boundaries, figure out what she can afford in terms of help, find out about resources in the area and know things will not be perfect-far from it.[/quote]
