[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would support my husband doing this, but then he'd also support me doing something for myself on the alternate weekends. He'd also potentially take the kid(s) sometimes. And/or do some of the Sunday prep on Saturday.[/quote]

+1. My husband and I have each had a parent who passed so yes we did this for each other and it took far more time than 6-7 hours every other week.

On these boards I read lots of posts about men not being caregivers. But it strikes me that some women want to stomp it out of them if it’s the least bit inconvenient to them. Personally I like being married to a man who feels responsibility to routinely check in on his aging parents with whom he has a good relationship.[/quote]

DH and I, routinely help my ILs and an aunt, to maintain their grooming, maintain the house and yard, have family get-togethers in their space so that they remain healthy and capable to live in their own house for as long as they can with independence, joy and dignity.

OP needs to  applaud your DH for being a good son.  As a spouse, she need to support him and also be a flexible thinker.  If OP  cannot solve some logistical problems at home (when she has the money to do so) then she must be really an incompetent person.  Life is always changing. This is the season for change.

Also, I am always amazed how people are mean to their ILs and put up roadblocks in their care.  How can your spouse respect you if you are such a beetch? [/quote]
