[quote=Anonymous]First, my sympathies - you are very nice to take care of your MIL like you do - also I have a similar dynamic with my MIL so I get it. But listening to someone else vent, I can have some perspective and here it is - put yourself in your MIL's shoes for a minute - she is aging, becoming more dependent after a lifetime of taking care of herself and others, her daughter doesn't sound like she does much to help, which is painful and embarassing, and she needs to rely on the day to day living help of her daughter in law (after she spent years caring for her own children who are not even the ones to primarily help her now when she needs it). When I think aboü my life becoming that some day, I want to cry - especially since I have boys and since they are young enough now that I can't imagine our relationship evolving that way - but your MIL probably thought that way once, too ... PS - I think your bigger issue should be with your husband who seems contentto let you be the one to do everything for his mother - try to shake up that dynamic a bit. [/quote]
