[quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry for the loss of both of your parents, op. And I’m sorry that your sisters in law have not been there for you over the years. Truthfully, they sound kind of awful. I don’t know about you but the pandemic has put a lot of things in perspective for me and sitting and keeping my mil company for a couple of hours once a week does not seem too burdensome. I know you have a long drive and I can’t remember if you work or have other weekly obligations. I would take your sils out of the picture. You are not doing this for them - you would be doing it for your mil. You would not have to go when they have penciled you in but you can say, I am available from 12-2 on Wednesdays (or whatever) and they can rearrange their days around your availability. It would be a Mitzvah as we say in Judaism. This would only be if you want to do it and can see that you are doing it solely for mil and not the sils. If you still feel comfortable with your current schedule, more power to you. I can tell you that my dh and his mom have a pretty fragile relationship. [/quote]
