Honest answers to the questions families actually ask at 11pm.

• How often should you visit your elderly parents? An honest answer.
  There's no magic number — but there is a magic pattern. What research actually says about visit frequency, elder loneliness, and the real problem: nobody's counting.
• I feel guilty for not visiting my elderly mother. What actually helps.
  Caregiver guilt is nearly universal — and mostly useless in the form it arrives. Here's how to convert it into a pattern your family can keep, without shame.
• My siblings won't help with our elderly parents. A fair system that works.
  The sibling care fight is almost never about love — it's about invisible labour. A practical rotation system, the script for the hard conversation, and the tool that ends the scorekeeping.
