Why do men expect their sisters to do all the caring for elderly parents? Claudia has two brothers. But when their mum fell ill it was soon clear who'd carry the burden | Mail Online
I don't like the perception that an ill mother is a 'burden'. this is awful and now so common a perception of elderly or sick that in the not too distant future we WILL have euthanasia! I'm not blaming her, editors of newspapers do the headlines for articles. So she would not have chosen this title.
But I think there is a definite discussion to be had...
How men get away with it! an interesting article...and yes it's the WOMEN who is EXPECTED to do 'the caring'. why?
A disabled woman challenges the 'status quo' in Ireland. This blog was started to highlight inequality, abuse and injustice in the lives of disabled people. The wooden spoon was given to me when I graduated (PhD) as I'm known to 'stir up' and get things done. I'm still stirring from my wheelchair...Justice for disabled people demands we 'stir-up' complacency, injustice, inequality lack of services, and scapegoating . Disabled people deserve rights not charity! "Nothing about me without me!"
