My MIL passed 3 weeks ago. DH, SIL and I came from across the country for the funeral and to help FIL get the house ready to sell.
After the funeral SIL did one thing... Clean out her mothers clothes and pick the jewelry she wanted to keep. Other than that for 3 solid weeks she has sat on her butt watching soaps.
Oh, and she claimed the good china (worth about $8k) but she was too lazy to pack it up so DH and I packed it.
She left about a week ago to go home to enjoy the rest of her summer leaving us here to do the hard work of getting the house emptied and ready to sell.
I think there is a major showdown coming between DH and SIL. He wanted the china since we entertain and she doesn't but FIL gave her first pick of literally everything. In his mind we're well off and she's a single mom, no money, blah, blah.
I get his thought process but it was decidedly not cool.
But bottom line - it isn't any of my business so I'm keeping my mouth shut, but I had to vent or I would have exploded! Thank you for your time, now back to the regularly scheduled program.
