Most Senior Citizens have Senior Citizen “Children” and We’re Tired and Unappreciated

I’m in my 60’s and so tired of taking care of my parents (80’s) and in-laws (90’s)

My mom and dad are in their late 80’s. My in-laws are in their early/mid 90’s. I am in my early 60’s. I’m still working a full-time job. Twice a week I visit my dad in memory care. He has dementia. Twice a week I spend with my mother - helping her clean her house, pay her bills, take her shopping or go to doctor’s appointments. Once a week I go with my husband to visit my in-laws in assisted living. This weekend I helped my mother take down her Christmas decor and store it. I climbed into crawl spaces and went up and down her basement stairs countless times. I then come home and need to cook and clean. I am so tired. My mother and my in-laws complain that I don’t spend more time with them or help them more. I literally don’t have any extra time. My own house needs care and cleaning. When people wonder why old people’s “kids” don’t visit more - they need to do the math and realize that their “kids” are senior citizens too!
