[quote=Anonymous]Yes.

I will do anything for my parents and ILs.   I am the only daughter of my parents (I have 3 brothers) and I am the nearest thing to a daughter for my ILs who only have sons.   I cannot depend on anyone else for their care and more than anything else I know that my parents and my ILs deserve to be loved, cared for and respected.  For day to day care they will need to stay with us,  but if they want to live in their own homes we will do whatever we can - pay for their expenses, visit them often, outsource chores, include them in our lives and vacations etc. When they pass away, it will be an emptiness that we will not be able to fill. They have sacrificed much for us and they are fine and loving people.

My brothers and BILs are good men and will gladly bankroll everything for them, but my SILs (brothers wives and BILs wives) are all younger than me and I feel that it is my responsibility to take care of them.  Somehow, with my ILs, I am the only DIL that they feel closest too - maybe because I was the first one to join their household.
