[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread has only existed for about 24.5 hours, yet somehow the wife is the lowest of the low until she “finally” decided to help with ideas in what to do.  Meaning, some of you hags must be miserable people who so easily jump on someone before giving a person time to think.

The husband, in my opinion, is the absolute worst who threw his wife under the bus because of healthy boundaries and not wanting to destroy their own lives for an untenable “solution.”[/quote]

No.  We jumped on Op's wife for being unhelpful AND dissing her SIL/MIL AND trying to dictate whether or not her dh (Op) helped his own parents.

Once Op's wife actually came out with a good plan and appeared to be supportive of her dh and FIL then we all said that was good of her.

Continuing to vilify the sister and keep her out of the decision making process is not so great because it sounds as though that is being done out of spite and not because the sister has not offered to be helpful. She has.[/quote]

Honestly I'm not convinced there's a "we" here.  Until very recently on this thread almost everyone recognized OP is being unreasonable here and his wife was being reasonable by vetoing a terrible plan.  I'm pretty sure there's one sock-puppet who hates her sister in law and has some inheritance PTSD who has gone bananas in the last 4 pages or so.[/quote]
