C.,
I feel your pain. I have had my MIL and SIL living with us since my husband and I first got together. It may be important for your in-laws to be close to your husband at this time especially since your FIL's diagnosis. Some parents feel the need to be as close as possible to their children. This is a fact I have learned quickly these past 5 years. And you know something if it wasn't for my MIL and SIL I think my husband and I would probably be divorced by now. They have really helped us and especially me through some hard times. I have found that I can talk to them about whatever is going on with us. Heck we may not have even gotten married if it wasn't for my MIL who had a talk with my husband about a disagreement he and I had long ago. He left me and was ready to move on, but my MIL showed him that he loved me too much to let that one little thing interfere with happiness. Just be patient, this could be a passing phase for your in-laws and if it isn't, then maybe you can take advantage of them being there and just look at the positive side of it. I hope this helps!
