[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The last thing that anyone should want is for someone who doesn't want to be a caregiver, to be taking care of their mother. Hire someone. Give your sister in law a break. (This person married into the family, I think - isn't the daughter?) This is a terrible situation. [/quote] I agree. I have no intention of caregiving for my ILs. Even for my own parents, I'd rather contribute financially to a paid caregiver and visit them regularly. It's just not a role I can handle. So many of the women in my family have spent their entire lives doing some form of caregiving while the men have enjoyed a ton of free time - I decided early on that I'm not going to live like that. I also think, in the case of in laws, no good deed goes unpunished. Better to just sit back and let your DH and his siblings work it out. [/quote]
