I need advice on siblings disagreeing on care of elderly parents.? |
My father is 75 and mother is 69. My father's health isn't the greatest but he is still quite independant. My mother is very healthy, very active. My brother who was chosen by them to inherit their home and land wants to tear down their home this year and build a home for his family to share with them. They would have their own bedrooms and living room but would have to share a kitchen area. How about asking your parents what they prefer. This isn't about the kids; it's about the parents. I really think that's up to your parents. If your brother is who they chose and they are in agreement with him, I don't think there's much you can do about it. Talk to your parents first. If I am right, they do not want to have their home torn down. That is their home and their life's memories. They will be lost and strangers in a new place...like a man without a country. Tell them you stand behind them 100% if they want to keep their home. I really don't see a problem with this type of living situation, especially if they will be caring for your elderly parents. If I had the money to do so, I think I would create a similar type fo living arrangements for my aging parents. Why don't the rest of you siblings, insist on paying for and building a add on kitchen to yur brothers house plans? The problem is not about the care of your parents, it's about the fact you don't like your sister-in-law. I have a 93 year old Father and a 90 year old Mother. They live in their own home and I am there a lot of the time to help. Tell your brother that he will be sorry about the kitchen thing. It is so hard to cook and clean with them coming in and out all the time - and he and his wife will not be able to tell them not to if it's their Kitchen too. I promise you this will drive his WIFE CRAZY!!!! If he wants to stay married he better listen. There's going to be a lot of intimate years in that kitchen - do they REALLY want that. Even when I mop, I have to get on my hands an knees and dry it with a towel because they won't give it enough time to dry. Copy this and let him read it!!!!! They might as well share a bedroom!!!!!!!!! |
