[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here.

To the above posters suggesting I contribute towards the cost of care - this is where my wife and I are at a complete impasse.

My wife does not feel we should be contributing any money or time to it. My sister (speaks regularly) about their stocks, extra addition to their house, and her salary ... She and my brother in law have been able to put away a good chunk of money for themselves and their children. My sister is not short on money, but she is used to being taken care of and when it comes for the time for her to contribute, she freezes.

My wife does not want to pay extra funds for childcare or care. If I were to take on a financial commitment without her approval, it would not go over well. She is saying this is entirely my sisters responsibility. She is a little bit more sympathetic towards my Dad. But she and I cannot come to an agreement on how much support to provide.

It doesn’t help that she has talked to other family members about it. [/quote]

You, your sister and your Dad need to sit down and discuss this together. Your dad needs to organize it, not you and not your wife.[/quote]
