CAROLYN HAX
tellme@washpost.com
She’s an at-home
mom; why can’t she
do elder care, too?
Dear Carolyn:
My mother is 78 and requires
24/7 care. I am working full time.
My son and daughter-in-law live
about two hours away with their
two kids. My son is a doctor, and my
daughter-in-law quit working when
she was pregnant with their oldest.
Since she quit, I’ve been asking
every few months if she can come
by once or twice a week to watch
my mother. They always say no.
When I was there last month, I
sat them down and asked why my
daughter-in-law is so unwilling to
help with my mother when she
isn’t working. I feel I am owed an
explanation.
They did not give me one but
offered a substantial check for a
home health aide.
My mother was adamant that we
do not hire strangers or put her in a
home, my son knows this, so I don’t
understand the money. I also know
his education was expensive, their
house is brand new and she doesn’t
work. Where is this money coming
from? I don’t feel like this is all add
ing up. What do I do now?
— Disappointed
Stop thinking your daughter-in-
law’s time — anyone’s time — is
yours to schedule for her! Or their
money is yours to parse!
Stop pressuring her and them.
You are not “owed an
explanation.”
Plus, she has already chosen to
dedicate herself to caregiving. She
has a full-time job rearing children.
Not that it would change the
answer if she didn’t, because it’s
still her time, their money and
none of your business. You can
make your mom’s problems your
problems, if you want, but you can’t
make them anyone else’s.
You see it as a matter of values,
I take it, that family steps up? If so:
Your values aren’t transferrable to
others, nor do you get to decide how
others apply them.
All of which is to say, the baseline
problem here is your mother’s obsti
nacy. That’s it. (Your entitlement
problem came later.) She is the one
who both needs the care and refuses
the care available. That is on her.
Your options:
■ Press the issue with your mom
that caregivers who are “strangers”
won’t be strangers anymore once
she gets to know them.
■ Let her know it’s this or
nothing.
■ Take time off, if possible, to
stay with her as you bring in the
professional caregivers your son
and daughter-in-law paid for.
■ Consult with a geriatric care
specialist to advise you through this
difficult but exceedingly common
transition.
■ Repeat till it sticks: Your
daughter-in-law is not the answer.
Then start on Plans B, C and D.

Friday at www.washingtonpost.com.
