Caregiver Fights
Dear Mary
My mother-in-law is 88 and has recently had cataract surgery. She requires someone to help put the drops in her eyes and to help her around her home – virtually 247 for the next month or so. My husband and his 5 siblings (and their spouses) are all constantly fighting about who is doing what, who does not help enough, etc. The fighting over the phones and in person is getting worse every day. Everyone is already tired of this post-surgery help and is not doing a good job of anything at this point. It is tearing the family apart. What should I do?

Grandpa’s Story: Dancing king
I’ve taken ballet since I was a little kid and nobody was a bigger supporter than my grandpa. He used to take me to my lessons and he was always front and centre at my rehearsals, cheering me on.
