O/T Are your families takin care of???

Girl you too are on point!!!!  So true!

Hi there still talking about insurance and not being covered. My single sister left with no income and taking care of the parents most of the time don't have any kind of coverage.
Medical nor death my father act like he doesn't understand she has no income and she will not let me help her.  My brother's battling cancer and it just 3 girls and she is the only one that doesn't have a income.  Daddy act like he doesn't understand I've told him years ago that she no long have health nor life insurance and needed to go to a job. She's doing what 2-24 health care workers are doing everday and he ask like the insurance will pay for his health care and mom also. NOOOOOOOO he has to much damn money that he is sitting on. I've told her while she's writing the check to pay there bills pay her own.  It was told to my by our father the money is to be divide equal among the sibling.  Shoot told her to pay her bills and keep her house hold running I'll over see the checks she writing and if anything every happen then we'll divide the money equal.
MY TOPIC WITH MY OLDER SISTER IS GOING TO BE GETTING HER INSURANCE AND DEATH COVERAGE AT THE EXPENSE OF THE ONE THAT SHE BEEN SEE TO HER 3 1/2 YEARS FOR FREE. Yes they are Our parent, I'm not there to help like I know I should and she needs an income.
Or he'll be paying stranger to take care of him and mom when he come out of rehab. And for him to paid for to people to be take care of both of them.  He's in his right mind he so worry about his da*n money he has enough than he'll out lived what he saved time to get the He** off of it. I'm not having no BBQ sale to bury my TWIN  he** no. Yes I'm rambling it a f-up day here got the GBies and been having a headache all day. Try to think of what we are going to do. We can't bother our he as been sent to Houston Tx. We seen him be for he was transfer on thrusaday and haven't heard from anyone yet.

ASSURE ME HE'LL COUSEL THE HB IF IT EVER SOME TO THAT HUH. I TOTAL THE DR. I'LL BE LOOKING AT YOU AND BE TELLING YOU THE H WITH YOU IF YOU LEAVE ME LIKE THAT.  7 days make on weak, no church today going to regret it all week.

Thanks for this post.  I totally agree with you, I just buried my mother on 2/14/09 and six years ago I made her get life insurance.  We had a hard time at first because of her past but she qualified for AARP and I had to remind her that she only needs enough to bury her properly and take care of any loose ends.  I am glad that she had it because everything fell on me when the time came (I'm the youngest of  4).  I have made sure that my children will be ok in the event of my death.  It's hard but insurance is worth it.

Yes it is so glad that she listened!!!

I just went thru this situation where my significant other of 18 years did not have life insurance of his own.  Thanks God his mom had a policy that she had been paying on since he was little and was able to bury him.  But the situation was sad because everything he said he had in place was not.   (mortgage to be paid off if he died- was not the case)

It made me step up and get my stuff in order for my two children.  I have life insurance through my job but I went and get an additonal policy because what if I decide to work for another company one day. 
My mom is afraid to talk about the arrangment but I told her that it is something that needs to be done whether we want to face it or not.

Yes it does sometimes it bothers just how stubborn our parents can be!!! 

Good post.  We've had our wills drawn up and provision has been made for the family just in case anything should happen to any of us, kids included.  I've already told them to cremate my body and not to waste all that money on a burial. 

You sound like my husband.  I swear if being buried was the same price he'd do it lol


I understand though!!!  Good for you!

All the older folks in my family have had their stuff in order regarding funeral expenses.  It's not expensive to get a policy to cover funeral arrangements.  I'm really proud of the relatives who prepaid for their arrangements directly with the funeral home.  Now the younger folks...  They do not have it together.  My sister had the nerve to complain about other people not leaving money for a funeral. When I asked her if she had a policy she said "no, I'm going to be dead so I don't care what happens to my body."  My sister is single and doesn't have any children so she's expecting me to take care of her arrangements.  I told her she's going to get the cheapest arrangements that can be made if I have to take care of it because of her stinkin attitude.  I have a husband and kids... why should I be left to foot her final bills.  That is really inconsiderate.
