[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The SIL sending a Xmas list is ridiculous if she understood the seriousness  of the situation, but if they live a long distance away and all work themselves, I am not 100% sure what exactly they could do for you in terms of helping you with childcare, etc. [/quote]

Well, at a minimum, they could check in every once in a while to see how OP's wife is doing.  They could ask if there are items they could have shipped as a care package for the wife or family.  They could volunteer to pay for meal delivery once a week.  Even if they can't drop everything, they could act like they care about their sister/daughter.  [/quote]

In this situation since the family is well aware that Op is alone and taking care of his seriously ill bedridden wife AND their 2 young kids ..it is terrible that no one has bothered to lift even a finger to lighten their overwhelming load. It's obvious that the Op could use some help.  The Op has even requested their help.  But no help has been given.  That is inexcusable, sorry.

I think that a random group of strangers on the street would do better to be quite honest.  Sad but true.
