Well the whole need, able stuff is shit.

You do what is necessary or what you care about.

I cared for my father as he was dying while raising four kids and caring for my mother.

Some of us just do it.

Then, as my mother was dying and living with us, my girls helped care for her because that’s what family does. No matter what.

Like is always said, you all do you and we will continue to do us.

Just stop trying to justify it. None of us believe you.

No, it’s not shit. My father passed away quite young at 59 after a grueling amount of time being sick. My mother has MS. Had my father gone much longer, there would be no way my mother would have been able to care for them both.

My brother travels 3 weeks out of every month for work. I do not have a home capable of having 2 ill parents navigate it. I have 2 young children that require their own amount of attention and care.

To assume that anyone who considers outside assistance is selfish and inconsiderate is in itself selfish. You think those are easy decisions for families to make? You think millions of families don’t struggle with that reality? Who would have helped me? My 2 year old? Sheesh.

Get real, lady.

this isn’t your business. Nobody owes you an explanation for how they interact with their family!
Not all families are Hallmark card material.
