we're going to have a family meeting at the end of the month. IDK why I thought my dad would balk at 1/3 and not 1/2, my mother says, "of course you will pay 1/3." So that issue is settled. Even if in the beginning we only work on each paying our share of bills like the electric, the taxes, cable, etc, that will be a start. I'm not going to push on the groceries yet I don't think. Get up and running on the bills first.

I know it will never be perfect. All the driving and sitting in waiting rooms my dad has done and he won't let me pay him a penny (I take him out to lunch every few times). Down deep, we all love each other and want to help each other. We rarely ever really disagree on big stuff or have a real argument. They drive me nuts, I drive them nuts. I'm just gonna see how it all pans out.
