[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a dog lover, and previous owner and don’t understand how people don’t get that three large dogs DO make a mess- our last dog passed away 5 years ago and I’m still finding fur woven in places. The reason we don’t have a dog right now is we have a small child and it’s too much work. MIL would be spending her time caring and cleaning after these dogs instead of taking care of ILs, and, as most dog owners are less sensitive to dog-related mess, uncle would end up cleaning or repairing after the fact.

I also get uncle’s pettiness - his life is likely very disrupted all the time by GPs care and needs, and MIL won’t even take the responsibility to inconvenience her life for 2 short weeks.

I’m team uncle, clearly.  [/quote]

I’m a poster above and I’m also team uncle but my response is based less on “who is right” and more “would the uncle like two weeks of respite from being the caretaker or not?”. None of us can dictate the terms of OPs mother in law doing this, so I think he either decides to take his sister up on the offer she made, rather than the offer he wants, or he doesn’t. [/quote]
