[quote=Anonymous]I would sit down and talk out options with them. Just be clear, both of your families are going to be in a world of hurt if you have a nervous breakdown and can't take care of the kids. And you've done your best for awhile, but you're getting to your breaking point.

You could suggest a mother's helper or babysitter (on their dime); if it would work you could suggest their older one go to preschool with your older one, and then at least you'd only be dealing with 3 kids; maybe another relative or a friend could take the kids 1 or 2 of the days, and doing it fewer days would be easier for you.

Don't take on her stress. I'm sure it's stressful for them to have to find the money or a solution to this problem. But you can't help them if you are drowning yourself. You stepped up in an emergency, but it's time to figure out the next steps. And if BIL and SIL want to be pissed about that, that's their problem and their immaturity. You aren't the cause of this problem. Cancer and a lack of a realistic back up plan are the causes. Good luck.[/quote]
