[quote=Anonymous]OP, I would help. And this could also help you be more apart of the family in terms of the SILs. If you don't help, you are guaranteeing never being included. Plenty of people wouldn't care, but at some level you already care, so why cement their mindset against you. I would offer up one day a week for less time than DH is spending there. Or maybe you and the other sister's DH do one day every other week, so each of you has 2 days/month. Your DH's taking care of admin offsets the doctor's appt, etc. But the actual time involved in being with their mother AND doing the appts is a lot of time. It's unfortunate the SIL didn't ask if you'd be willing to help rather than just assuming. But who knows, maybe DH offered for you without thinking. More importantly, this is for your DH and your MIL. Don't have regrets later in life about end of life care. [/quote]
