My sons are basically taking care of me since I'm disabled and my check doesn't cover anything.Two of them are argueing, I told them I would not get involved.One is 32 the other 28. The yougest put it out there where I would have to choose between the two since he was doing more for me.I won't do it, I will not choose between my kids.I will do without whatever.I've never had a problem like this.I agree he does more but does he have a right to tell me what to do? I want someone elses opinion but I don't think he does.

Regardless of the situation you are still the mom and deserve love and respect. I don't blame you one bit for not choosing sides. They will eventually work it out and if you get in the middle, you will be the "bad guy." It always seems to work this way. I would listen to both sides but let them know you have a mind of your own and want to do what's best for you.

They are adults not children anymore and old enough to sort out their own disagreements without upsetting you, id tell them that and leave them to it.

You are wise in not getting involved.
There have been a number of times that my children were arguing amongst themselves, but I do not take sides or get involved. Unfortunately, sometimes their arguing is because one does not feel that the other is treating me like they should, but I let them has that out and stay out of it.
If I don't like the way one of them treats me, I tell them myself, but sometimes the others think they need to be involved.
