[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?

OP here. Thanks for your feedback.
I don't know why my SILs haven't moved my MIL in with them. They don't seem keen. Instead, they rely on hired aides and helpers to take care of MIL in her own house. My SILs don't want her to move to a care facility because they think her condition will deteriorate quicker in a facility.
My husband thinks she will need to move to more appropriate accommodation at some point as she's getting more frail and she has had a couple of falls and near falls in recent months.[/quote]
