[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your Dad is few hours away, correct? So you are not in fact providing full time hospice care for him? Or is he living with you? I thought you said he is few hours away?[/quote]

Op doesn't say that she is providing hands on hospice care.  She is saying that she and her sister are doing their best to help their dad long distance and Op has stated that she had to take time off to go to him for a few days, her husband wound up having to travel for work and only her in-laws were willing to come to help out with the kids while Op was out of town taking care of her dad.  Op's mom is off having a good time and won't even acknowledge that her daughters are having a difficult and stressful time of it.[/quote]

That just confirms it that OP inherited her attitude from her mom. [b]She had to go see her Dad and excepted her mom to drop everything and come help.[/b] I accept that OP is stressed out and having a hard time, but I just can't get over that original post. It really sounds, like mother, like daughter scenario. I think if mom was still married to OP's dad OP would not lift a finger to help out, seeing how put off she is with going to visit her terminally ill father.[/quote]

Your mom won't drop everything to help you if something bad happens? That's terrible! It's not a normal parent-child relationship by any means, not by a long shot.[/quote]
