[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do NOT let your MIL move in with you if you want to preserve your marriage. This type of arrangement only succeeds if the parent (Mother or MIL) gets along extremely well with the woman of the household and is not a PITA. Listen to your intuition. Look for [b]alternative care arrangements[/b], such as having live-in caregivers at her home or finding a elder care home.[/quote] This. Caring for an elderly parent would be hard even if she was your BFF. You need to have a frank conversation with your husband. Help him understand that having her close by and still dutifully caring for her would be a healthier, happier situation for all of you--not just you. [/quote]
