So looks like MIL is coming to stay with us for a few months. She fell over the weekend and isn't able to walk. Sad that she has 5 kids all with their own place and yet only 1 of them (my husband) can help her in her time of need. She currently lives with his sister who has kicked her out because she can't take care of her now that she's on bed rest. So now my husband has to take care of her, our daughter, and soon to be another baby. I'm furious at his siblings and slightly at him for offering, but at the same time I can't just leave her on the street. If it were my mother I would say yes in a heartbeat, so I'm trying to be kind. Tomorrow we are setting some ground rules with her so she knows what's expected and I guess we'll see how this goes. Somehow when I got my own home I knew she would end up living with us 😒

@emily526, Yuup! And at the end of the day that’s what family is for. As much as we don’t like it lol . Blessing her could in return gain you a blessing !
It's like that in every family many sibling's and shit always falls on just 1 to maintain it all...yes definitely set boundaries with her and your husband should expect same ...No one is extra special..another person in the house equals another mouth to feed,laundry, etc so he should take all this into consideration
@whitmom2be18 It could be, I'm trying to stay positive. I lived with her when I was younger and it wasn't a very good time. But this time it's my house and my rules so that may make things easier on me.
@blakeslatinmama That's exactly what we're going to sit down and do tomorrow. I already went over everything I felt with my husband to make sure he was ok with it and on board and tomorrow we're sitting down with her.
Hope it all works out. Could be a blessing in disguise
@blakeslatinmama I said the same thing! I'm so disappointed his siblings are refusing to help out at all especially knowing we have a baby due so soon! She's on bed rest for a week or two and then starting PT. But the good thing is she does help out around the house and she cooks too. I just want it known this is NOT a permanent thing.
@sherrynygirl It's the same way on my side of the family and I'm the one who the responsibility falls on too with my parents because my brother is useless 🙄 luckily my parents are in very good health and I'm not needed for any serious assistance at the moment. But my husband and I did sit down and actually write out what we expect and everything so hopefully it goes well when we sit down with her tomorrow and go over it all.
