FAQ
How do siblings split responsibilities fairly?
Combine money, time, and geography explicitly. Fair does not always mean equal dollar amounts.
What if parents need help with English paperwork?
Create a glossary of key insurance and benefits terms in Bengali and English so help is not limited to one sibling.
