Learn to communicate better, since your husband and his sister suck at it.

What EXACTLY are they fighting about?

Your husband expects some kind of 50/50 split in caregiving?  Was that ever laid out on the table between him and his sister?  I'll bet not.  I'll bet your husband is angry because he's doing the bulk of the caring for the parents and yet the parents will probably splits their estate 50/50.  I'll further bet that at some point your husband suggested to his sister, that she give him her half of the parents estate cause he's doing all the work.  Of course she would have rejected that kind of a suggestion.

Money is what these quarrels always boil down to.

This is what you tell your husband:  Tell him to grow up.  If he wants to take care of his parents he shouldn't have any expectations about what his sister "should" do if she hasn't committed to those expectations.   Even if she has, if she's too immature to follow up, he shouldn't be surprised by that.

None of that is any reason for him, or you, to freeze her out.[/quote]

Op here. I get what you are saying, but there is no estate to mention. Parents have been financially taken care of us for the last decade. He does not want to take care of his parents solely, and has said that from the start. He has been upfront. But parents feel younger sis[/quote]
