[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why doesn't somebody guilt the sister who has more money and who greatly benefited from Op's mother looking after her kids.  Sure,  Op can help but he shouldn't be responsible for more days and more cost than his sister. Not to mention the plan is unworkable and will increase the workload for his wife. No, Op's mother made a choice to sacrifice her time and money to help her daughter. I am sure she had her reasons. But a consequence of that choice is not having a DIL willing to help her when she needed it. May OP's wife would be more willing to compromise if OP was more reasonable in his expectations and if he actually forced his sister and father to meet their obligations, not dump them on him.

Op only needs to do his 2 days.  The sister can do her 2 days and they can help dad figure out how to do the 5th day.

If they all do their parts to help through the crisis then no one will feel overwhelmed.  [/quote],

But they need a backup plan as well. If someone gets sick, if there's traffic, if the sister has a crisis, if it's clear that Mom needs more. 
I'm still confused re: why Mom is ok for 4 hours but not 4.5.  [/quote]
