Yes, Larry, I think you are right, the sense of unfairness can overshadow our good deeds for parents. When someone volunteers for strangers, there isn't the emotional connectedness, so to speak. There sure aren't family dynamics then. It's purely our own decision.

When it comes to family, then, it's "expected" and we often strangle ourselves with the "shoulds" and "musts" and the expectations from family...

So true! That's an important thing for anyone who is or will be taking care of family to keep in mind. Otherwise, it can sneak up on you and bite you in the rear. I know I learned my lesson, and I hope I can remember it in the future if needed.

Take care,
