hugh..is your MIL at least nice? so she is a mess..is she a tough lady to get along with?

what about your wife? she must think you are a saint! i do. does the MIL appreciate you and your wife's actions? not that we do thing we do for gratitude..

but the other siblings never pull you aside and tell you or your wife..thanks?

crazy. i am not holding out much hope for my siblings. i dont know what my mom's money situation is like. not my place to ask..but i pay some of her bills, put her on my cell phone plan, etc. when we all go out to eat, sometimes my siblings forget that we are all adults, and will actually wait for my mom to grab the check..crazy. but things are slowly changing now that my stepdad passed. my siblings are starting to step up.
