Dh has told fil he can live with us

I haven't agreed to this.

Mil is terminally ill.

Everyone is in shock. Very upset. Dh is worried about his dad when she's gone. He was tearful and very distressed.

I said to Dh that he needn't worry about his dad and that we - and the family (Dh has a sister) - would look after him.

He has now relayed this to fil as saying he can move in with us.

Dh works full time and whilst fil is reasonably fit, naturally the onus will fall onto me.

I'm pretty pissed off.

How do I manage this now? In a time of heightened emotion and panic about mil?

Just ask dh if between him and his siblings they are paying for care/ reducing hours to care for fil, when he moves to yours.

Anyway, have spoken to Dh now and he agrees it would be better to have or make longer visits rather than actually live with us. But see what happens.
Well, that's more promising. Sounds like he's had time to think. You're both under a lot of pressure, tough time for you.
