Sandy, retirement sounds great but I can't imagine it happening in my lifetime haha.

Family squabbles are so sad. I can't imagine that happening in my family. My older sister is executrix of the estate and was dads primary caregiver until he passed at the end of February. My other sister took care of both parents for seven years befor we moved mom to CA and my sister had to move out of state. I've been looking after mom for about nine years, the past six of which she has lived in our house. We have all "done our time", loving and caring for our parents. Right now mom feels like she's a heavy burden to me so she wants to be sure I get most of the estate. She forgets how amazing my sisters have been through the years. Rather than arguing the point, after reminding her how fabulous they are I just tell her they have agreed I should get the most. That makes her happy. When she passes we of course split anything left of mom and dads estate equally.
