gypsy_anne,
LOL, I can also be mean, if I find something completely wrong. Just ask my kids. :^O I tried to raise them on trust. We don't have many rules, but I am adamant about them. Otherwise they could do most anything they wanted to as long as it wasn't illegal.
I still hold a full-time job, but don't use my English professionally. It's a bit strange, but I never learned to translate. I speak both languages fluently, but there is a link missing in my brain for translations. 😉
Das Wetter hier ist fantastisch! Wir haben 18 - 21°C. Hoffentlich wird das Osternwochenende wirklich schön für euch.
Wünsch dir auch ................

LOL! Wish I could be so sure like you.....
mayzoob,
I believe you think with your heart. :-x
Any decision you make will have its' pros and cons. You must decide what is best for the parent/in-law, what is best for your immediate family and how many inconveniences you can handle, before everything falls apart.
I don't have a pat answer, because it always depends on the circumstances and the people involved.
Just a thought ........................
Maybe a compromise would work. If you feel you MUST take care of the elderly person, then try it out. Take care of them for awhile and see how you and your family can handle it. Don't put the thought of a nursing home aside, though. If you see that the situation is breaking you and your family, then you can still put them in a home. It won't mean that you love them less.
