[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel bad, but I wouldn't move my inlaws in, but would move my parents in. I'm willing to quit my job, bathe my parents, toilet them, and cook/clean for them. I'm not willing to do any of that for my inlaws. I like them, but just can't see bathing or toileting them. I also don't get along with them politically and run my household differently than my inlaws. I run my house just the same way that I was raised. Unless we're dealing with dementia/Alzheimer's, I wouldn't send my parents to a nursing home. [b]I cared for both of my grandparents in their last months as well when they were completely bed bound. [/b]

And the big one is that I'm willing to tell my parents NO when needed and to speak up. DH lets his parents walk all over us and would  never in a million years tell them no.

[b]I have a son[/b] and I hope I've raised him to care for his family better than my inlaws raised DH.[/quote]

It's great you were able to do that, most people can't.    You were fortunate it was only for months and not years.   Was your son young at the time?[/quote]
