[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you are completely in the right and you are entitled to your residual feelings about how SILs were completely absent when your parents passed. Don't listen to all the other SIL guilt trippers on here. Ridiculous. Plus, I'm always suspicious of children of elderly parents who move heaven and earth to keep them out of the appropriate care situation and leave them at home. I always suspect selfish children who are trying to protect their inheritance at the expense of their struggling parent. Why hasn't your MIL moved in with one of the two sisters at this point?

Having had to put my MIL in a nursing home as I was the primary 24/7 caregiver with no help, I would have much preferred to keep her in a house with caregivers.  The nursing home care sucked and was a lot of work for me to stay on top of for even basic care.  Not everyone has the space to take in a loved one.  We have a 900 square foot house so it was a big deal and really difficult.[/quote]
