i also read your profile and noted that all of you contribute to your mom's care. Perhaps that's a burden she can hardly bare. To ensure that all of your relationships last past Mom's death, you might consider state assistance for her assisted living costs. Paying her rent is not an obligation that the kids MUST take on. It's an honorable and loving thing but given today's economy. Best of luck to you all
I usually pick my m-i-l up a few days a week and take her places for fun. She also spends Sunday's with us, starting with church and lasting sometimes all day. There is no need for me to be there everyday and babysit her. She is ultimately the one who chooses whether to sit in her room and watch TV all day, or get out and socialize. Good luck, I wish I had better idea for you, but getting old stinks and there's not much we can do about that. :)
Unfortunately, you can only controll your actions, not your sister's. Talk to her and give best try to convince her your mother needs her and wants to see her. If she refuses, that's as far as you can go. Please don't wasted precious emotional engery on something that's not going to change. It will be your sister who bears the guilt of her decision. Be strong and stay committed to yur mother and let your sister walk her own path. Good Luck. SM
