[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your sister absolutely needs to take care of this. Her checking out is not an option in any way. Frankly, I'd tell her to get her A$$ in gear in reparation for all the work your mother provided to her (assuming your mother was not financially compensated by your sister) or she can forget about having any kind of relationship with you and your family going forward.

I don't understand this at all. OP, you need to deal with this, not your wife. At all. Grow a set.[/quote]

If I one day have the ability to watch my precious grandchildren, I would be doing that because I wanted to NOT because I expected my DIL to provide free eldercare for me when I'm old.

If you think that playing Go Fish with a 4 year old is the same thing as providing eldercare then you have done neither and you don't know any better.

I know you think this cutesy phrasing makes it better, but you're essentially reinforcing the message OP's mom sent to his wife at the time - SIL's kids were her precious grandchildren, OP and his wife's kids were not.  [/quote]
