[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I shouldn’t have even posted this. I guess everyone will feel pity for the elder care needs - I do too and got taken because no one seems to care that we never get a break either. I guess it’s too much to ask people who you gave so much time and help to to check in. It seems basic courtesy to me but maybe not. [/quote]

You don’t have a baby assuming other family members will take care of it for you. That’s what hiring babysitters and Nannie’s is for. You do for others out of the goodness of your heart, not for a return on the investment. [/quote]

Do you not read? I am sad that they don’t ask how I/we are after all we’ve done. I’m not expecting anyone to help because I have sympathy and respect their needs. What I have an issue with is taking advantage of my kindness and ignorance before I married in and then not even getting a how are you text or an acknowledgement that it may be too hard for us to help.

It’s not too hard for ‘us’ to help. It’s too hard for you. They’re not asking you to leave your toddler but their son is obligated to take some of the weight off his sister’s shoulders. And they did ask how you are, you’re just mad that apparently they didn’t drop medically ill seniors to listen to you complain about being a parent.[/quote]

He is being guilted by them. I can’t take this. They could live another 10 years. You never know. I wanted a supportive loving family. Not one that doesn’t give two shits about me. 
Nope he’s not. They need to be in a nursing home. They have the means and she won’t do it or discuss it. It’s not a conversation. I am not going to be miserable for years as a single mom basically so she can boss us all around. [/quote]

Sounds like your husband doesn’t agree and it’s curious that as soon as your life got a tiny bit hard you’re pushing for the ‘throw them away’ choice[/quote][/quote]
