Caring for elderly parents is not just about love, but also about how to maintain family unity. Not infrequently, family conflicts can explode into a big drama just because of differences of opinion about schedules, how to care for them, or even about the medicine they take. Well, for OTO Friends who are experiencing this, calm down. Let’s discuss effective ways to stay sane, united, and harmonious in caring for your beloved parents.
1. Communication is Key, Don’t Just Assume
Often times, conflicts arise because we are just guessing. “It seems like the older sibling doesn’t care.” or “The younger sibling must be deliberately avoiding responsibility.” In fact, they may have their own reasons that we don’t know.
The solution? Chat, OTO Friends! Take the time to sit together, talk about the needs of parents, and the fair division of tasks. Make everyone feel heard and appreciated.
2. Delegate Tasks According to Ability, Not Force
Not everyone can contribute. Some are busy working, some live far away, and some have financial limitations. So, it is very important to understand each other. For example, those who cannot help directly can help with financial matters, and those who live in the same house can help with daily matters.
Assign tasks based on capacity, not one-sided expectations. This can make all family members feel fairer and reduce drama.
3. One Vision, One Mission
Remind us again that our goal is one: to give the best to our parents. If you start to get heated or emotional, take a breath and focus on your original intention. Sometimes we need to stop arguing and start supporting each other.
Try to make a mutual agreement, for example about care, consumption, to the selection of elderly needs products. If there is one voice, decisions will be faster and less complicated.
4. Involve a Third Party If Necessary
If the conflict is at a standstill and getting hotter, don’t hesitate to ask for help from a neutral third party. It could be from extended family, close friends, or even a family counselor. They can help provide a new perspective and be an objective mediator.
5. Prioritize Parents’ Health and Comfort
Don’t let conflict make us forget about the comfort of our parents. The right products can really help reduce physical and emotional burdens. For example, choose comfortable and durable adult diapers to make daily care easier.
