[quote=Anonymous]I agree with your husbands that your SIL sound self absorbed.  I'm sorry they showed you no compassion when your parents were ill and died.

I would look at the current situation from a new point of view.  You are not self absorbed.  You are a loving spouse and a caring DIL. Did your husband show you care and compassion when your parents died?  If you choose to help support your MIL you are doing it for your husband and his mother. Not for your SILs. I married into a large family and my MIL is currently having health issues that will require her children to work out a schedule of care similar to what you are describing.  I fully intend to be on that schedule. I love my mother in law.  I love my husband. I even love my SILs even if they haven't always been my best friends.  So spend time with your MIL because it will mean something to your husband and because if you have children you will be modeling good behavior. Try not to let you SIL treatment of you influence your actions. Don't give them that power. You are stronger, kinder and better than that.[/quote]
