Sister being resentful?

If your sister is hands on with your Dad and having to go around daily to cook and clean for him as well as any personal care she also has to do her own home. If he is 95 your sister must be getting older and probably feeling tired. Could you pay for your Dad to have a cleaner in for a couple of hours each week? This would lighten the load off your sister. Alternatively you could order him in some of those meals they advertise where you pick the ones you like and they get delivered. That would also give your sister some help. It is difficult when you live further away. When my Mum was getting older two of my sisters lived in same town as Mum but three of us scattered across UK. The ones further away paid for a cleaner for 3 hours each week. We paid for 1 hour each. It took strain of sisters living closer who still did laundry, shopping and personal care. We went to visit every other week on different days to give caring sisters a day off.

Thistlelass I would imagine it's jobs that dictate where people move to, rather than actually choosing.
When my kids were little, we lived pretty much halfway between 2 sets of grandparents.

Dad is fortunate as he can afford cleaner 2 hrs a day and a gardener. Cleaner sits with him for cup of tea and chat daily too! Sister doesn’t have any jobs to do as such, but visits nearly every day and does keep an eye on his finances. He’s very ‘ with it’ and tells me he’s happy with FaceTime at present. In fact, telling us not to travel - To be covid safe! Me feeling guilt about not visiting I suppose. Thanks for comments and advice

Sister doesn’t do any housework or gardening for dad ( fortunately he can afford cleaner/ Carer and gardener). but she does keep an eye on his finances and his day to day life.
When we visit we take meals, wine, gifts, and do help a lot.
Dad seems happy. It’s me feeling guilty that we’re not nearer.
We have looked after husbands mum and aunt, husband does think we’ve done our turn. COVID has made it all more difficult to visit

I think the problem might be resolved.

It sounds to me that you just want to be closer to your sister..why don't you just tell her that and that you miss her..

If your sister is full time carer of your father - she's totally exhausted and could do with a break .

Visiting with flowers and chocolates isn't enough .
I've been there
I haven't had a holiday except for one weekend away for 17 years .
As an only child I longed to have siblings .
I still do !
