Hi, all. I literally do feel some of your pain. Alas, I didn't teach my sons to help much at home, since I was treated like a slave when I was growing up. They seem to have no inclination to help out, but think I should just hire help. Easier said than done.

So, I can see both sides of the caregiver situation. I'm 68 and my parents are dead. I certainly wouldn't be able to help them, if they were alive, since I need help myself. Would it help to tell a parent about your own health issues? (I played mine up some when my mother was living.)
