[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did SIL make a unilateral decision that mom would age in place and everyone would divide up tasks or was your husband part of planning. This should have been discussed in advance. If she is making these decisions on her own then she needs to deal with the fallout on her own. She can ask what you can offer, but it's not her place to inform you or your husband what you MUST do.[/quote] Pretty much. SILs support the idea of ageing in place. They fear that MIL will deteriorate quicker in a care home. So theý hired a number of aides and helpers to do the hard labor (cooking, bathing, grooming, intimate care, companionship, activities, etc). One SIL appointed herself as the case manager. My DH was neither for nor against ageing in place. He loves his mom but he is not as emotionally close to her as his sisters. He is also not against the idea of his mom moving to a care home.[/quote]
