 |

One of the biggest hot buttons there is in eldercare is how siblings manage to share those responsibilities for an aging parent. It can be the undoing of sibling relationships... the cementing of a great family dynamic... or something in between. In my experience one child usually steps up more than the others, although that it is not always the case. How to get that cooperation without coercion, guilt, or bad feelings is a challenge. The primary care giver can feel overwhelmed and deserted. While other sibs feel pressured to take over when something in their own lives is more crucial.
To get a good idea of the issues i recommend you check out this ongoing thread at city-data.com - i started the thread a long time ago and keeps on going!

| I don't think that there should be any such issue as concerned to take care of an elder by the silibings. As the could divede some of the responsibilities among themselves and in order to avoid any issue could keep on exchanging there responsibilities after every week. On the other hand if they could really affoard, there are some awesome old age home projects are working and providng their homes at some reasonable prices with all necessary facilities. |
