Oh don't feel bad girl, it is the exact same way with my husband and I. I have 2 brothers (well one is a half brother and doesn't live here, he's about an hour away) and I also have a sister - and out of my brother, my sister, and myself - my husband and I are ALWAYS the ones that help my mom out. It really ticks us off because it is like we are the ones that are just "EXPECTED" to do everything for her. My husband mowes her yard, trims her trees, we both help clean her patio periodically, we helped her paint her bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, hall and computer room a while back...my husband painted her garage floors, he put a new mailbox in as some car hit her old one, and my husband and a friend of his also went over and fixed her air conditioner, and I am CONSTANTLY running errands for her - oh my goodness.....just NUMEROUS things that we have done for her. And now she lost her job and is trying to do this reverse mortgage on her house and GUESS WHO everyone wants to take a loan out at the bank to get the money to do it????
That's right, my husband and I. It's just very frustrating because I have a brother and sister who are perfectly capable of helping, and they COULD offer to do alot more for her, but they don't. I guess they are smart - they know that my husband and I will help my mom...so they take the easy road and just sit back and watch
