[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You and the other siblings left her and your brother to do the hard work of caring for/overseeing your parents. While there was care 24/7 at their home, that still required family to oversee that care, fill in gaps when a caretaker was sick or late or quit. You brother and SIL were taking your parents to appointments and it sounds like you brother was the only sibling visiting your parents regularly. Your SIL called you all out on it and you resent her for it. That doesn’t make her wrong. [/quote]

I did the scheduling of caregivers, handled call offs when people were sick/late.  I had a great agency and private caregivers and I could close the gap 99% of the time with another caregiver, if not, I would call my other adult family members, 2 brothers or a friend and someone would come through, thankfully.  That is what my family does.

My parents were both on hospice since June 2025 so there were no more outside doctor appointments for the past year.  Brother 1 is retired.  Brother 2 visited regularly around his full time work schedule.  I am fully aware that brother 1 did more but if it was causing problems with his wife, he should have let us siblings know "hey this isn't working for me anymore".  We thought everything was fine until SIL started texting us her complaints and calling us m-f'ers.               [/quote]

So you're mad your brother is a doormat and his wife took you to task? He knows what she was doing and let her do the dirty work. And she got her way. [/quote]
