[quote=Anonymous]As usual, this is a DH problem, not a MiL problem. The demands on your time to take care of aging parents are only going to increase and you can’t be expected to drop everything for your parents and his. Unless his current work situation is an anomaly it’s time to set expectations about how and when he’ll need to deprioritize work in order to care for his parents so the expectation is not that you’ll do it. Also, when you were taking care of your dad - did it not occur to anyone to ask MiL if she’d be open to come stay with your kids while you were gone or have the kids come to her? Why were you and DH waiting around for her to offer?[/quote]
