Will you care to take care an old maid sister?

Why do you think you will have to take care of her? There are plenty of independent, self-sufficient older women in the world. Maybe your 'old maid' sister will end up being the one who cares for you?? None of us know what lies ahead...

I do understand your problem and it’s the same with all our near and dear ones. Very recently I have shifted to stay closer to my parents who are in their 60’s. though energetic and independent, a time will come when I will have to take care of them and like you, I am sceptical. Frankly speaking, our parents took care of us in childhood but there’s a gulf of difference between caring for an infant and caring for an aged person. For people like us, I think the best option can be to hire some help. I don’t know if you are married but I am and with my personal family and job, I doubt how much time I can be with them physically, no matter how much I want to be. Maybe I can visit them regularly and take care of banks and doctors and medicines, but I don’t think 24hr involvement would be possible by me.
