Most likely your husbands brother’s wife has the same opinion you have. There are other options when it comes to addressing elder care that don’t have to include having an elder parent move in with you.

His mother has her own home, but my husband has been paying the mortgage. Husband's brother (jimmy) was supposed to split the monthly cost with my husband per their agreement, but Jimmy never pays unless he's forced to. He'll go months without paying his share and won't pay anything unless he is reminded. This agreeement has been in place for almost 10 years and still Jimmy has to be reminded each month to pay his share. Ridiculous!! So my husband has bore the weight of that. And husband's brother's wife (Kim) had one comment when my mother in law brought up living with someone. Her comment to my mother in law was "you have another son"....meaning my husband. She's an evil witch!!! And to top it all off, my brother in law and his lovely wife (kim) have a fully furnished apartment complete with it's own kitchen in the lower level of their home, but they won't take the mother in law in......but they did take Kim's mom in for 3 years....so more nasty evil hypocrisy on their part!!!
