Selfish sister. Help?

[anotherhuman62]

I have a sister who has 4 children. All that have been raised by my mom. My mom is getting pretty old and weak but my sister doesn’t feel bad at all that she’s put on this pressure on my mom.

My sister lives in her own house and has a husband. He works and she sits in the house all day. Complaining. She’s lazy.

I have now been told she’s pregnant with baby no.5. Another child that my mom will raise. But I’m sick of this cycle. I can see the damage that it’s done. My mum literally collapsed last week because she’s being overworked by my own sister that has no conscious.

What do I do? Is there anything I can do?

you may not be able to change your sister, but can you support your mum? encourage your mum to step back. Even take your mum away for a 2 week holiday so that your sister has to cope without the help.

Preferably more than two weeks.

What's not mentioned is whether anyone has pointed out to your mother how she's being taken advantage of. It would be enjoyable if your mother announced that from now on she would be charging some very high fees. Could you privately talk to your mother's doctor and see if the doctor could tell her to cut back?

It’s really up to your mum what she does. But why does she feel the need to be so involved if she’s worn out, as you say?
