[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] It’s a very hard place for our family to be. My SIL is going back to school for her masters in nursing, which frustrates me because she’s a NURSE but can’t offer to do any caregiving for her own MIL when she’s sick?[/quote] Have you asked her to? Maybe she's the type of DIL who thinks she needs to stay in her lane and not butt into her husband's family too much. She may observe the close relationship you have with your mother and think you will be jealous or bitter if she tries to help, that you would find the help intrusive. She could think that taking care of your mother is your territory and doesn't want to impose on that dynamic. This could all just be miscommunication. Ask for her help, she might not know her help is welcome. [/quote]
