I hear you. My uncle is severely disabled, his wife has heart problems, and they both have learning difficulties. My aunt (his sister) was going on and on about how they should go into a nursing home. They don't want to. They have carers and social workers and home adaptations; they're doing well in their own home. It wasn't until I pointed out that it's none of her business that she shut up about it. She doesn't look after them or help out in any way - she doesn't even see them more than once a year or so. If there's a problem and a family member needs to step in, their eldest brother deals with it. It honestly has nothing to do with her in practical terms. But, because she's convinced she always knows better, she'd decided they should go into a home and that should be it.

She's said the same about her father. He's elderly, but his wife, step-daughter and nephew are looking after him. She just thinks their opinions don't matter and he'd be better off in a nursing home, despite what all of them want.

She's said the same to me because I'm physically disabled, despite the fact I'm far too young for a nursing home. Once you become chronically ill or elderly, your opinions don't matter and everyone else wants to have their say-so over your life.

Ugh. And isn't it always the one family member who doesn't actually spend any time with the person in question that always has the "best ideas"? My Dad got left with his mom with no help from his older brother and got a call every now and then about how he wasn't taking care of her well enough. Same thing happened with my grandmother who was taking care of her own mother and her older sister would show up once a year saying that the mother was being mistreated. My older sister moved out and my parents are aging (and I do intend to be their caregiver as long as I can feasibly do it) and I'm already getting some of this bullshit. They're not even retired!

Uh huh. No practical input but they sure like to share their opinions on what everyone else is doing wrong. It bugs the hell out of me.

I suggest you tell them to come on over and implement their suggestions (and do some of the work). "I'm going to be out tomorrow and they've got a doctor's appointment to get to!" That'll put them off.
