It gripes me to no end. I've watched these situations my entire life. One child cares for the ailing parent with no help from the other siblings, and often while receiving criticism from the others about whatever perceived injustice they can dream up. It boils down to this - The caregiver is always the goat. I've seen it in all walks of life. Two preachers - in both cases, the whole family is ticked off at the one sister who took her dad into her home and cared for him. A deacon friend - the whole family is ticked off at a brother who took their dad into his home and cared for him. And several more. In ALL cases, the gripers expected dad to move into their sibling's home with "X" dollars, live there for an extended period, with 24 hour care, while his health declined to his eventual death, and upon his death still have "X" dollars in his bank account to be divided equally among all of the children. These greedy jealous animals totally discount any idea of the high cost of medicines, doctor visits, special facilities needed to accommodate the elderly etc. And that doesn't even touch the disruption wrought to the caregivers family. I know there are exceptions, but they seem to be rare.
I have given orders to my kids to NOT take me into their home when my health declines. Sometimes the family comes out intact, many times it is destroyed. In the case of the two preachers, ten years have gone by and one won't speak to his sister or any member of sis's family. The other is barely civil - a "frosted" relationship, you might say. Jealousy and greed. The caregiver is the goat. Your wife's ex-sister in law needs to accept that and write these people off for what they are.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
