[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So your family has taken care of them for 17 years and you’re mad because they want a break?[/quote] OP did a lousy job in setting up the situation (if we are to take her at her word in her subsequent posts). From what I gather, the SiL did provide room/board and she also benefitted from having 24/7 sitters for her DCs. Those are not small benefits. Even a live-in or AP receives some compensation in exchange for their labor, especially if the ILs did this work for 17 years. Of course, I have to wonder why they made that exchange and at least one of them didn't seek some type of paid employment outside the home. It would have behooved the SiL to have broached this conversation earlier, ideally a year earlier. Yes, for OP and family, but also for the ILs who seem more like pawns to the SiL than parents.[/quote]
