I have a brother who is generally missing in action with the care of my parents. He told me that I spoil our parents too much by taking Mom to all of her medical appts. I am sick and tired of him knowing all the answers but not being there to help. So I stood my ground and told him that it is much easier to take Mom to all her appts and get the doctor's orders straight the first time round than trying to sort out who said what afterwards seeing Dad is getting deaf and Mom has early vascular dementia.
On the way home, I could hear my parents talking in the back seat about their appointment.... good grief, from what I was hearing, it sounded like I was in the Twilight Zone as their remembrance was far different than what I heard :P
