My MIL died several years ago of dementia and during her decline my FIL expected my wife and her sister to literally walk away from their families to come and help him care for her 24/7. He did not want to hire nurses because of the cost.

Now he is dying of cancer and fully expects both of them to leave their families to come and care for him.


I'd probably give it a shot too. Why the hell did I have kids otherwise?

Prayers for the situation for real. I know that's not a great time.

If you have kids, would you really ask them to walk away from their lives/families to come and take care you? I’m not talking inf visiting ….I’m talking 24/7?

I wouldn’t do that to my boys.
