NuevaVida -> RE: I Admit It I........ (1/8/2014 10:00:02 PM)

I admit, yep, littlewonder, I'm the youngest of 5 kids, but I'm my mom's executor and power of attorney, and I'm the go-to person for everything. Mind you, my one sister & I are super close (this is the one whose husband died last year), and we are always there for each other, but we're also the only ones who help my mom with anything, and it's frustrating. Now my brother is in 'crisis" with his divorce and decision to drink again, and he calls and text whenever something is up. Really, I just need some time to move and get myself situated. This is a huge life change for me and I have told everyone I'm not available. I admit thankfully she called a friend to pick up her younger son and he's staying with the friend tonight. And she's still planning on taking my mom tomorrow. I was ready to tell my mom to cancel her appointment, otherwise. I need to take care of *me* this week (and next). But it is very frustrating that it's always just my sister & I, and no one else steps up. Ever. But, like you, I do try to do the right thing and be there. I admit, though, because of the calls tonight, I didn't get any packing done and that stresses me a bit. I admit, the Mister was very reassuring, reminding me it will all come together and he'll be here this weekend and we'll get a lot done.
