Helpful hints for building coops

Hates me for putting Mom in a nursing home.

I'm so sorry to hear that. No one gets to judge unless they are going to step up and take on all the responsibilities themselves. And not even then really. When that situation hits it is rarely easy and for myself, my own second guessing still stings.

I am sorry. It is never easy deciding what to do when our loved ones need more care. Doesn't always make everyone happy either but I have seen that few want to step up and take on the extra work of keeping them at home but fully expect another person to..... be it a child or sibling.

so true..
double that for me.. X2

My brother used to fish for sharks when he went to FL. He may still, idk he won't talk to me any more. Hates me for putting Mom in a nursing home.

Well unless he was going to take her in, which he still could, he has a lot of nerve holding that against you

we always told both of our Moms that they could come live with us if they wanted to.
Annie's Mom stayed at her home until she passed away at 95. Annie's sister stayed with her. My Mom came to live with us when she turned 92. she passed away at 99. If it hadn't been for Annie, I could not have handled it alone..
I have 2 bros and 3 sisters. None of them would have taken Mom in. 2 of my sisters would have her visit for a week or a couple of days, until Mom got to be too much to handle.at about 95 years old.
Lucky thing for my siblings that they never tried to tell us how to do the job.
I often told Annie that if I heard one peep from anybody, I would pack up Mom and her things and deliver her to the complainer..
I have not heard any complaints even to today. Mom passed in 2013..

I lived with her a year, and my Aunt lived with us for 6 months in TN. Nearly drove me nuts.

He could never do it. Doesn't even bother holding down a job. Doesn't call Mom unless he wants money. No cards, no gifts.
