[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again. Sorry, since it’s convoluted I didn’t include that SIL and BIL spent the past three weeks here with us, helping to look after FIL. But because of work and so on they can’t stay here until FIL dies, and that’s why she wants him moved to their place. She flew home a couple days early to “set up the house,” whatever that means, and BIL stayed behind and will fly with FIL. DH has a trial and can’t fly with them.

DH is angry that his father is dying. He and SIL don’t agree on how to take care of their father, and there is lots of friction between them, even before this. Emotions are running high.

To a couple other PPs: FIL is here legally, butvis nit eligible for Medicare or Medicaid. His cancer is too advanced for anything but palliative care at this point, so I think the main expenses will be nursing costs and medication. [/quote]

Why is DH agreeing to this?  Why haven't you used that money to hire an aide at least a few hours a day?  Sounds like there is more to the story and you cannot care for him.[/quote]
