    Your SIL must be on another planet - good to hear you closed her down. The only thing I can think of is self-delusion. She has convinced herself he has lots of care and you have lots of help so its ok for her to do nada.

    So glad to hear that both are on the mend. Whilst I hope they recover quickly, I also hope they stay in hospital for a sensible time for both them and you, especially you.

    Hope. you have a restorative weekend ( I can't say restful or relaxing because that isn't you !!) x

    Your SIL has a flaming cheek @Sun_Addict! She plainly feels guilty but does indeed need to mind her own business!  Or help regularly...that's a good way to get rid of guilt.  On the other hand, you- as ever- are utterly awe-inspiring.   Love Humdinger xx

    I agree with everyone about SIL. You can’t just be a fair weather sister and pop up when you feel like it and still expect to be taken seriously! She’s either in or she’s out…and she has chosen out 😖
