I wish my father wasn’t as reliant on my mother for everything.

I wish my parents didn’t look to me to be the one to look after them in old age. My brother is the one who should step up. My parents have lived their lives for my brothers family. They were always to busy with Marks family every time I needed them. Mark has had it very easy and continues to just worry about himself. Moving away when my parents are aging after they have supported him his whole life. Am I horrible for thinking he should be the one who supports them. I don’t know what the future holds yet, but I fear that Neil will need support at some stage and I myself will need help. Taking on the responsibilities of my parents seems a tad too much for me to deal with right now. I know I am the nurturer and are perceived that way but why do they believe I will take it all on. Sorry, needed to rant. The only reason I believe they come to visit is to subtly let me know what their intentions were. In 20 years they have visited me twice, even in Melbourne they didn’t visit me because they always had my brothers kids. Am I a bad person feeling this way? I always seem to be the one who people rely on even if it’s not what I want.

No, you are not a bad person, just a frustrated one. I thought your brother was looking for care facilities near his home so that he could visit with them and take care of their needs. Perhaps, once they get settled, he will.
I wish that things work out for you.

That’s Neil’s mum needing care, she is still saying she doesn’t want it. She gets caters now, but it sounds like she will need full time care.
I wish Neil’s mum accepted what needs to be done

As you age, acknowledging that you might need to go to a home becomes a hard thing to do. I know that I would have a hard time. I hope to be able to stay home. I still have a few years before I get to that point though.
I wish that this situation works out for you all.

It’s hard being the children doing it to, you feel bad but I couldn’t see how I would be strong enough to lift anyone. I have a bad shoulder and ribs. I don’t think full time care of someone that’s 91 and not able to stand is ideally suited for a home environment. I’ve volunteered at an aged care facility and it’s not perfect either. I don’t think anyone wants to go into care, but you need to accept it and not make it harder on loved ones. We do have to make sure there is enough staff in these places though, presently there isn’t.
I wish for a quick end of life.

There is assisted suicide available now for seniors who are at end-of-life stages available here. A senior citizen who is mentally capable can request it rather than just waiting another few weeks for the inevitable. I know some who have requested it, my mother included. I think I might do that route myself. I would not make things harder on my loved ones, but hopefully that will not be for many years yet as I am not yet 70. My mother and grandmother were mobile until the last few months of their lives in their 90's, and my mother had a good mind, though my grandmother was forgetful for her last year.
I wish not to look towards the end of my life. Hopefully I have 20 more good years.

I guess I have seen a bit more of it volunteering at an aged care. I seem to have a lot happening with older family members at the moment. Sorry if I am bring up stuff you would rather not read.
I wish I could let go of thoughts I’d rather not have.

I wish I didn’t take on the emotional baggage of others. I want to fix everything and people know that. I need to remind myself that I am also important.

I wish I could snap my fingers and dinner will be made ... I can cook but I don't really like to. Hubby makes dinner every second night, so I guess I should be happy with that. Mind you, I am a good cook when I do cook |
