[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The projection about OPs wife let’s me know that many feel it’s woman’s work to make ANY sacrifice no matter how pointless. [/quote]

I agree. What’s also interesting is that the projection and rage is directed at the wife an not the sister. It’s like sanity deserves punishment while selfishness and poor judgement get a pass and endless support. It’s fascinating. And really sad. [/quote]

Sitting back and saying "Nope, your plan is sooo dumb and I'm not going to help and neither will you, dh, because  SIL and Mom didn't help MEEEEE with chidcare" is not sane or nice or anything but being an embittered, nasty biotch.

You don't interject yourself like that into someone else's tragic situation (and early onset Alzheimer's is tragic) trying to make it all about yourself.  Luckily, Op's wife did opt to offer this family some professional guidance.  She does this stuff for a living, of course she should help her husband to navigate this hell.[/quote]
