[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hurting your MIL because of your SILs?[/quote] No, this is the wrong idea. OP is not hurting her MIL because of her SILs. She's putting more of a burden on her SILs. If OP doesn't help, the SILs are not going to abandon MIL for part of the time, they're just going to have to do more themselves. MIL isn't arranging her own care, the SILs are. OP, I totally get why you don't want to help the SILs in their time of need. They weren't there for you, and you're resentful (rightfully so), and I'm with you. Stand your ground. Whatever your DH does is up to him. If he doesn't give his mother as much help as his SILs do, that's up to him. If he asks you to go help her for his sake, then go because you support him. But set boundaries and don't do it because the SILs are pressuring him, only do it if the request is truly from him. [/quote]
