My Dad died in September and he lived in the same small coastal town as my sister who is married and has no kids. She has a really busy job, goes to work about 4 am every day so is pretty tired, but she gets the whole weekend off. Brer in law works full time and at weekends.
Myself and dh have three kids, both in full time work and we live 80 miles away from Dads house.
Dads house was in a state of disrepair when Dad died, he didnt clean it and it needed biohazard cleaners when Dad was in hospital so since he died myself and dh have done loads of work getting new floors, painted walls etc etc, paid workmen, made phone calls.
My dsis does nothing.
There has been bad weather and tiles come off the roof sometimes and we need to look in on the place, take meter readings etc. she lives ten mins away from Dads place but refuses to go round there saying she can't face it. Now it does not even look like his place any more, new carpets, fixtures and fittings, just looks like a nice anonymous flat getting ready to go on the market. Dsis gloats to me about her coming inheritance from the flat. Yet myself and dh are doing all the work.
However, I think dsis has undiagnosed Aspergers, she finds a lot about practical day to day living difficult. So I hate to pressurise her. Dhusband is livid about dsis but I am loath to say anything.
What would anyone suggest?
