[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is it, that my MIL thinks her adult children are walk on water?  If one of them shit on the floor, I swear, she'd call it beautiful.  But if one of her sons or daughter in laws cleaned it up, she'd say it wasn't good enough.  Yes, a crazy example, but you get the idea.

My SIL, for the first time in months, did something today to help elderly MIL (weeded the mini-front yard).  [b]I cook, clean and help her run errands weekly. [/b][b] MIL looked at me and said,

"Isn't ______ just a sweetie?  She's always looking out for her mother."

I almost vomited.  I smiled and nodded my head, but it took everything in me not to say, "Really? What else has she done lately?"

My delusional MIL makes my stomach turn.

Tell your DH that you are stressed out and need a break and that his sister and he needs to step up and do more for THEIR mom. Give them two weeks to figure out and then take a break.

Once they get into the swing of things, you can step back in and take a turn if you feel like it. But you don't have to. It's not your mom. They can figure it out, hire help, or put her in a nursing home. [/quote]
