Thank you. Oh, and believe me, I'm not one to stand back and take crap; neither is my husband.
We were all there over the weekend cooking, cleaning, preparing charts for her meds, blood sugar, BP, liquid intake etc.
I see my SIL going above and beyond her duties but she insists. So while this happens FIL just sits back and lets her do whatever. That's part of the problem; we do too much. I've told SIL to ease back a bit and let her dad do this. He will have to when we don't!
The only thing I've seen him do is get her breakfast, and now this week lunch as we are all back to work.
And believe me, my husband has had plenty to say to his father, and well as his sister has. I got testy with FIL on Sunday and didn't go after work Monday because I knew I'd blow.
I would love to bring MIL to our house and have it off grounds for FIL!! But that's not possible.
Things are somewhat better as she is getting around more and has an appointment tomorrow. Unfortunately, alot of our problems stem from over the years dealing with him. He loves to sit and dictate to everyone.
Hopefully things will only get better! Thanks for letting me vent.
Hey, can you tell I get along with this guy?
Have a good one!
He's basically self centered, waaay overweight, lazy and a slob. Hate to sound cruel, but it's the truth. We are worried about what is going to happen. We will be there as much as possible but we all have families as well. My MIL is anxious to get home yet we know she is very worried as well. She even told the counselor at the hospital that he will not be able to care for her!! We've decided we'll be taking care of her; and he will have to grow up and take care of himself!! Paying for 24/7 care, even for the 3-4 weeks needed, is not there for us. Do have a bed and chair coming today that was rented from a clinic.
