Sister-in-law pressures woman to become the sole caretaker of her ill mother, even though she is 8 months pregnant and preparing to be a new mom: ‘I don’t have the capacity—emotionally, physically, or logistically’

A lot of people are willing to make a lot of sacrifices for their families. Their parents, siblings, and other loved ones often need us, and it's only right to give them the help they need, so long as we are also prioritizing ourselves at the same time. If we didn't keep ourselves happy, healthy, and mentally well, how the heck are we supposed to do that for someone else? Save for the fact that some folks might be carrying an extra life in their tummies and must prioritize them, too.

Like I said, family is important—but so are you. If you are asked to take on a difficult role, like being your mother-in-law's caretaker, you know your limits. The woman in this next story is asked to do this exactly, but here's the kicker: The woman is eight months pregnant and preparing to be a new mother in the next month. Her boyfriend's mother is incapable of taking care of herself, but another family member has given up caring for her because it was too difficult and demanding. In what world would a new mother be up for this task? Scroll below to see how the story unfolds.
