[quote=Anonymous]I’m disgusted at all the people suggesting that OP is the one who needs to be accommodating here. OP pays RENT at the grandparents house. So she has every right to be there and have her sick husband’s needs accommodated.

OP, read about the ring theory and dumping out, not in.  https://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-xpm-2013-apr-07-la-oe-0407-silk-ring-theory-20130407-story.html

This SIL is being a complete jerk. Her brother is very sick and OP is trying to adjust to their new normal and SIL wants to throw a tantrum about a Christmas sleepover? When her brother has just gotten home from a 2 month hospital stay during a pandemic? Her children are too young to really have any notion that spending Christmas Eve night at home instead of at grandma’s house is a departure from the norm. SIL is an adult who needs to suck it up and realize that we are still in  a pandemic and her brother’s wife is overburdened by caring for her elderly ILs and sick husband and her own kids, which means Christmas will look a bit different this year and she needs to count her blessings that she and her immediate family are healthy. I’m absolutely horrified at the pages and pages of PPs suggesting all these options that would put the sick husband in a hotel or Airbnb. The healthy people don’t put the sick people in an uncomfortable position just so they get to have every tradition they way they want. It is massively inconsiderate and cruel. There is no way on earth I could ever ask someone invalid to leave their home and stay at a hotel so that my young toddler children could have a sleepover with grandma. [/quote]
