Watching one of your parents succumb to the harsh reality of aging isn’t easy. It feels backwards—they were supposed to be taking care of you, not the other way around. That thought process isn’t out of malintent. It just feels bizarre with the roles reversed, doesn’t it? Being a parent’s caregiver is difficult emotionally, mentally, and physically, but I’m sure all of you adult kiddos out there wouldn’t trade that quality time and bond-building for the world. There’s no better way to show a parent you love them than by being there for them when they need it most.

That’s what’s going on in this next story, but the selfless kid puts their foot down and tells their sister that they cannot be doing everything—it’s just not possible mentally or financially. What would you do in this situation? Scroll below to read the full story.
