She has always loved to travel and still can but not by herself as she needs help with everything and has mild dementia. She lives with me full time. I take care of her with no payment. How can I afford to take her on trips? I personally live on a small pension but she does have money.
You should have a caregiving contract in place that outlines all of this, so if there are any questions down the line you are covered.
I just got my current electric bill, my son moved out over the summer. My usage is 44% less than this time last year. Think of that, I paid 44% more when he lived at home.
Set your boundaries, get this straightened out, she needs to start paying you for her share of the expenses.
Maybe look at the price of the trip and let her know an approximate cost. See how she responds. If she can afford it she may offer to pay for it.
