Yes, caring for my Mom is much harder for one main reason. You are expected to provide guidance..."give orders" to your children and expect them to follow your rules. My Mother is still alert enough to know when I am taking over the role as parent, making her aware that she isn't able to make decisions on her own. It really hurts her for me to "tell" her what she must do...like take a bath, change clothes, etc. I am constantly trying to take care of her needs without her losing her role as "parent".
