Caring for an in law

Yes, no question about it. She is family. This is your husband's mother. Some things I would not even think twice about. Now if I were not able to for whatever reason, I would offer the best that I could. But taking care of your husband's mother is something he will never forget. Anything less than all you can give may lead to disaster.

if you have affection on your mother in law and if you really want to look at her you can take care of her.if your mother in law is a good lady and she likes you so much then even u can show your affection by looking after her when she comes to your house.

I love my mother in-law and she is in a home and not even 60 years old. Before we moved from California to SC to be with his family I told my husband I can' and won't so he may want to inform his family before we get there. The reason for it she can't walk to go to the restroom or anything. I could handle it if I didn't have to deal with the diaper changing. She is also so verbally abusive. I mean I could deal with that can tune her out because I rememer when I first met her when we first got married my husband took me to meet his family. I remember how she was so I know this mean woman isn't the mother in-law I met. Her husband has given up 8 years of his life and she cusses him out and everything. He still works but on his days off he is at that home with her and on the weekend he will load her in her wheelchair and bring her home for a visit on saturday or sunday. I told mother in-law if my husband was half the man hers was I am one lucky woman to have married into the family. Yes he is a lot like his father

we may be in that situation sooner than later...my father in law seems to be displaying early alzheimer symptoms and yes, of course i would let them stay in my house if i had a big enough one! also too, i am an only child, so i always worry about my parents as well! (my hubby has 2 siblings.)

Yes, I would care for my mother-in-law if and when the time will come that she will need us to look after her...granted that I will have the time in my hand. We were brought up in a manner where we really look after our elderlies, and not throw them into nursing homes just because they've become a burden. But if her condition will require constant medical attention and facility, then of course we won't have any choice but to put her in the nursing home where she'll be looked after and closely monitored 24/7. And if that will be the case, I'll definitely will be visiting her almost everyday.
