[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 628472, member: 17713"] Hppr.... Do feel for your situation.. I'm fortunate that I have wonderful step family. However, everybody lives so far away from my mum n stepdad both around 80.. My brothers who live locally don't give too hoots... So I living 150 miles away get burdened with a lot. This has caused friction with my brothers, because they live local, retired early and do nothing. All I'm trying to say is thatfamilies are so difficult, it's so hard to know what to do...I have had to end up telling my mum and stepdad that I will not be their carer's and that they would have to move to a smaller place or get cleaners and a gardener in to help them. Perhaps, they are just not mature enough (sounds daft in their 30's) but I certainly didn't think of help towards my parents until I was mid 40....... [/QUOTE]
