Allan: I’ve been checking in on my parents a lot lately. Sometimes it feels like I’m stretched a bit too thin.
Claire: I hear you...I’m worried about my parents too. They’re overseas and it’s hard not being there for them.
Allan: Yeah, that must be tough.
Claire: It is. I call them all the time just to see how they’re going...but there’s not much I can actually do.
Allan: Yeah, I’m always running errands for mine...doctor’s appointments, groceries, stuff like that. It all adds up.
Claire: Maybe it’s time to bite the bullet and ask your siblings to pitch in a bit.
