I had an e-mail from a guy who asked me about my family.......God bless his heart....I am #2 of 3 kids.... My older sister who is 14 months older ...Likes to think that life is a tv show....Perfect ...and if it is not perfect there is hell to pay.....She married right out of high school .....moved in a little house down the street from mom and dad and started poping out kids left and right. My baby brother by 2 years did the same thing married right out of school to a big ass gal and let me tell you she wears the pants. They started poping out kids and my brother has no say in his own house. My Father calls him the balless wonder. I was the strange one I left went to the east end of the state ...went to school..bought a house and a car... I had 2 long term relationships but never married...for the most part I was happy with my flings. ....My mom and dad's health has went down and my sister is to busy in her perfect world to help out and my brother is to busy looking for his balls....so I have put my house up for sale and I am now running dad's cleaning business ...I take them to the doctor...I clean their yard ,house I do their shopping....I do not mind taking care of my parents I owe them that much and more but I like to know if there is a way I can get Mrs.Perfect and the balless wonder to do their part

Hold on, lemme stop laughing.......Balless wonder, that was fuckin' funny!!
I don't know what to say. I suppose you need to sit them down and have a talk. Tell them they are adults and you know they have responsibilities at home, but they also need to think about their parents and that you would appreciate any help that they would have to offer at the moment & let them know you and your parents would greatly appreciate it. Good Luck!

Personally, I think I would start documenting everything you're doing for your parents- docs visits, shopping for them, helping them pay their bills etc.- all the things you do for them! Use your computer to store all that info and back it up and update it on a thumb nail drive as you go along, to lock away somewhere! I would make sure you have records of all of their finances/investments etc. together too! This is in case your parents have a sizable estate! At least you can prove you're the one that took care of them, if it comes to legal issues later on!
Your brother and sister won't have a leg to stand on if they try some BS with you later- lot of work but you'll be prepared if necessary!

Somnium is right....keep accurate and detailed records of every expense, every bank statement, and anything else you do in caring for your parents. I've seen first hand how ugly a sibling can turn when it comes to what they think is "owed" them. My late fiance was put through hell by his older brother after their mother's passing.
Don't make the mistake of thinking just because they are your brother and sister that it "won't happen" to you.
