[quote=Anonymous]we are in a similar situation as you with my inlaws. My SIL does more of the "hands on care", i.e. more visits, paperwork, doctor's appts, etc. We don't give time, because time is emotionally exhausting, so we give money instead. The SIL is the favorite, and she can give time without being verbally abused. But we can't, so we protect ourselves. However, we don't just forgo all our responsibilities - we give a sizable amount of money (nearly 3/4 of the total financial amount), which SIL can use for respite care, CNA care, etc. We'd pay the whole thing to stay away from being emotionally manipulated.
