Parents leave entire inheritance to their 45-year-old daughter who took care of them for 10 years, enraging 42-year-old sister and 48-year-old brother who never visited: 'David and Lisa saying it’s unfair and that I should split it 3 ways'

Caring for aging parents is a challenging task. If you are doing it full-time, it will absolutely take over your life, restrict the amount you can work outside the home, and prevent you from living independently. Many adult children are unwilling to do this work, and it makes sense! People have their own lives and own families to worry about. But any adult child who decides it's worth it to support their parents in living out their twilight years in their own home in dignity is a special one. It doesn't matter if they're living at home and taking care of their parents full time, paying for a home health worker to help them, or just being available and supportive emotionally. Any help is better than ignoring aging parents and just hoping someone else helps them during this particularly daunting period of their lives. This is far from being an all-or-nothing situation.
