Yes. I have been there. My mom is not as old as your mom, but my dad died 15 years ago. He did it all. My mom was a homemaker. She didn't drive or do the banking. I am the sibling that lives the closest. At the beginning I was there all the time. I let my husband take care of our kids, my youngest being a toddler. Mom needed me!

He sat me down and told me that I could no longer neglect him or the kids. It was a wake up call I took to heart. I did NOT want to lose my marriage over this.

What do your siblings do? If at all possible get them to each take a day where they check on mom. You do NOTHING on those days. If you have to get someone to come in and be with your mom for 2 days a week, do it. They can check on her, keep her company and cook her meals. Listen to your husband! You will not regret it.
