[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is that SIL’s husband on? Are you the only spouse not on? [/quote] Yes and yes. I'm not always around. My work involves working away regularly.[/quote] Okay, so your DH isn’t actually pulling his weight on MIL’s care. The other siblings are making it work by sharing the effort with their spouses, while your DH contributes less. I can see why SIL is unhappy.[/quote] My DH is the only sibling who works full-time. The others work very part-time or whenever they are able to get work (in a creative field). The other siblings also live closer to MIL, 40 minutes vs 1.5 hours where we live. I think DH does pull his weight, just in a different way. They all do different things.[/quote] DH needs to work this out with his siblings and determine what works. If necessary, outside care can be hired. None of this has anything to do with you, OP. She is DH's mother, not yours.[/quote]
