Elder Care: More Excuses
Yesterday I shared some of the excuses not to plan for elder care that Dan Taylor wrote about in his book, The Parent Care Conversation. The reality is that if you accept an excuse now you will pay a heavier price later. It may be much more costly to deal with certain problems and some problems may be settled not to your liking.
Here are some more excuses that children use not to deal with their parents issues.
5. I don’t have any siblings and can’t do this by myself.
6. My family is very close knit. Everyone will want to be involved or at a minimum, informed about what’s going on. You know what they say about too many cooks’: things will just get out of control.
7. I have my own life and my own responsibilities to take care of, and just can’t do this.
8. I can’t deal with the hurt and pain of talking to my parents about the end of their lives.
9. I have never been good with money. I wouldn’t want to be responsible for any advice or decision making in that area on my parent’s behalf
Do you recognize any of your excuses in the ones above? A lot of times the response to planning about elder care is to do nothing. Who wants to add to the burdens they already have? If you don’t take responsibility now it will be thrust upon you sometime soon.
I’ll respond to these excuses and show you how to overcome them.

Thanks for your comment. Previously, someone criticized my grammar saying that I was making it hard for people to read my posts. With your comment, I stand vindicated.
I think there is such a wide variety of readers because unpaid elder care by adult children is happening to so many people. It becomes more complicated due to the financial and work related crisis we are going through as a nation. The concerns of adult children who provide elder care are rarely mentioned in the political discourse.
With this blog, my articles on ezine.com and with my Action Program I hope to ease the burden of elder care so that children can enjoy a special time in their family’s life.
Thanks again.
Sincerely,
Tom Krahel
