[quote=Anonymous]OP, these situations become more complicated when there are siblings. If the other siblings have contributed, then it doesn't seem like your DH can refuse this first request, though that doesn't mean it is unconditional. Ideally, your DH and the other siblings would gather together and discuss. Ideally, they would come to the conversation with an open mind and hear each other. Ideally, they come together with one plan that reflects the abilities of each sibling as well as a change in their mother's habits. It may take tough love for her to recognize she has hit the end of the line. Our HHI is much, much higher than the rest of my siblings. We would jointly discuss our parents' situation and often I would be the one to cover the expenses. Fortunately, I have a DH who never begrudged that. What's different is that my parents were never spendthrifts so DH understood that if money was needed, it was not due to their being wastrels. Good luck![/quote]
