[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a paid caregiver and over the decade I've done this work I've seen many families where one child shoulders the vast majority of the burden of eldercare of parents while the other siblings criticize. Very few families have an ideal dynamic where everyone chips in equitably.[/quote] I find that surprising. I know many nurses, including hospice caregivers, and yes, of course there can be family issues- every family has some warts- but it is rare that they say that people aren’t grateful for family in times of crisis, especially at the end. There seem to be a large number of dysfunctional families on here. Perhaps the people who post on here are a self selected group, but I don’t know people like this irl. [/quote] Visit more nursing homes and you will soon agree.[/quote]
