Rainbow asked:

My mother and I live in the same city with my father and my other brothers and sisters live far away. We are usually close but are now having conflicts regarding caregiving. My mother and I are both doing the day to day stuff while they only see my father maybe once or twice a year. They try to make decisions regarding his driving, etc. and we don’t agree. We think they’re being too pushy. How to resolve this?

jeanette t asked:


If you were in your seventies and a bad surgery left you confined to a wheelchair but you were still sharp in the mind, but you could not provide personal care for yourself nor live alone anymore, would you expect your kids to take care of you?

Also if you had three children and 1 took you into their home and gave up working to care for you for ten years while the others just made their token twice a year visits, and NEVER offered any respite to you so your caregiving child could have a break would you feel anger towards the other children?

Would it affect how you divided up the inheritance for your children keeping in mind if the caregiving child had not taken you into there home with the cost of nursing homes the whole estate would have been gone long ago anyway?

Just curious
I guess I should ass that I have been caring for my grandma for 10 years she is a paraplegic. When I took her in my home I thought she would walk again like with her last surgery on the tumor. My grandma was always there for me like I went and lived with her when I was 17 to get away from all the chaos of my parents divorce issues. SHe was my one constant in my life. My husband adores her as do I, it;s just I have been doing this since I was 25 and I even got married five years ago and now I have a daughter and I just want to be able come and go and leave without it being a once a year thing because of all the planning it takes to go out of town. I just want my freedom yet I could not bare to put her in a home. She gave me the money when she sold her home so my husband and I could use it as a down payment on our house. I never asked her or made her do this. She said becuase I do not pay into retirement and ss that she wanted to do this for me, now my incles hate me and hardly speak 2 h
they hardly ever visited her and when I would get burned out I kid you not they would say well I dont know what to tell you but put her in a nursing home becuase we are busy raising our families. I never asked about a will or seeing an attorney and then adter about three years into her care my uncle started calling all the time trying to get my grandma into the lawyers office to make a livng trust. Then skip to the eight year and I got burned out and said I need help I am burned out and I said just to see what they would say “I found a place for grandma and it;s not like a nursing home and she loves it but it will cost all of us 200 a month on top of what she makes to have her stay there. They are all very well off I would add and they all had there excuses as to why they could not. In fact one of there wives asked “couldnt you just take evrything out of her name? All they wanted was her money. Ill be honest I never started this for money or expected it but as the years progressed on
and they lived all their lives I became very very bitter. Sorry so long dont blame if you didn;t read this all I think I just needed to vent. I actually feel lighter. Thanks to those who have read.
