Instead this is about OP??? Wow so selfish, OP. His dad passed say last year.

OP here, I'm not bored. This is real life. - "night shift" = he stayed with DS all night while I slept in our guest room.
MIL's SNF approved her for 24 hours of leave and gave her medications.
The camping trip is also at a small cabin with a bathroom, which is shared by 20+ people. It's just a recipe for disaster, but this is what DH chose.

I’m sorry that things are hard. But this is one of those times in marriage that you just have to put in a little more. There isn’t always a good way around that. You know that which why you assumed you’d be roasted. I just lost a parent and couldn’t imagine my husband being anything but supportive of attending things related to my parent. But he has lost a parent too and I did that when it was hard on me. DCUM would absolutely roast a husband who made it hard for a wife to attend her mother’s memorial.
I would not roast a husband who came on with the exact same story as OP. the sex of the spouse is irrelevant here.

His mother is in a skilled nursing facility right now and is very medically fragile. The nursing facility is allowing her to go on the overnight, but a stomach virus could likely put her in the hospital.

NP. I have worked in a skilled nursing facility and I’m imagining the medically fragile residents. In what universe could they go camping?! Will this woman be expected to sleep in a tent/on the ground? Or is there a camper or cabin? I’m assuming the latter. Also - to go down where with no cell reception when mom is so fragile…sounds so risky.

This is an ER visit
It's not an ER visit, but for goodness sake, stop giving him food until he stops. Fluids only. This holds, of course, only in real life. Not the fictional universe of OP's thread.
