Good grief this newsgroup must be moving s l o w today.  This rant of yours
just showed up on my list and it is almost identical to a rant I posted a
couple hours ago....but still have not seen show up...lol.  I am in the same
situation as you with family members.  I feel your pain.  We spend so much of
our time helping others that we neglect ourselves.  We witness our siblings
letting us care for our parents and we have little to do to force them to take
over some of the responsiblities.  WE are the mother hens and we get stomped on
because of it.  I love taking care of people, but I, like you, need a break
from time to time to care for myself.....yet no one is willing to take up that
slack.  Things don't get done.  My own sister has some really wonderful
qualities...she only exhibits in front of others....when it comes to her family
she tends to behave as badly as she can get away with....she knows we will
still love her.  For years I have had an issue with this, but since she is so
much younger than me, I just hoped she would eventually grow up.  While I do
see an improvement in her......she still does things that would have landed me
sitting on my arse across the room via a backhand across the head. ;-)   YOUR
sister should be ashamed of herself for ignoring your calls.  I guess I can
tell you the same thing people always tell me.  YOU will be rewarded for your
kindness to others, especially your parents........eventually. =)
