Her Parents Want To Pay Her $200 A Month To Be A Caregiver To Her Bedridden, Unemployed Sister Who Weights 700 Pounds

If your parents wanted to pay you a sad sum of money to care for your bedridden, morbidly obese sibling while also expecting you to let them move in, what would you do?

This 23-year-old girl is so close to completing her nursing degree, and then she will participate in a residency program upon graduating. Her future is bright for sure, but it's going to be quite busy as well.

She currently lives in an apartment that has two bathrooms and 3 bedrooms. She has 1 roommate, meaning they have an empty room, so they're looking for another person to rent with them.

Her dad will have to move for his job soon, and he and her mom will be required to live on a company compound, leaving her 28-year-old sister homeless.

Her sister has never left the house, doesn't have any way to make money as she's unemployed, and relies entirely on her mom and dad for support.

"She is over 700 pounds, bedridden, 'needs' round-the-clock care, and has an attitude a saint couldn’t forgive. For those reasons, she can’t be moved into the company compound with my parents," she explained.

As soon as her mom and dad found out that she's looking for another roommate, they suggested that she allow her sister to move in with her.

She actually wouldn't have a problem with this at all if her sister was capable of caring for herself, but she's not. Her parents want her to be her sister's caregiver.

"They tried negotiating with me by saying they would wire me a mere $200 a month to 'cover her costs.' This means all of the following: bathing her, clothing her, feeding her, and keeping her bed/room clean," she added.

"I cannot be caring for people 10-12 hours a day, and come home to another person I have to care for the rest of my time. I suggested putting her in a nursing home, because I can’t see the situation working out for either of us."

"Two hours away is a nursing home/rehab for bariatric patients that she could easily go to. My parents were appalled and said they could never do that to their daughter. But why should the responsibility of taking care of my behemoth sister be thrust onto me, when I would already be working very long hours doing the exact same thing?"

She's left wondering if she's a jerk for not wanting to allow her sister to move in.

A nursing home is the perfect solution, because why would she sign up to help her sister, especially when she has a rotten personality?

She would absolutely have to sacrifice her life to help, and I'm struggling to see how she can do this alone, considering her sister's size. That seems to be a job for two people, at a minimum.

How rude of her parents for enabling her sister, then wanting to pawn her sister off on her.
