My partner's aunt kept saying this to us. "You should help out more, you aren't even paying rent!" meanwhile we were taking care of my partner's mom (her sister in law) while she was on hospice, dying of cancer.

The seething rage in the back of my eyes as I thought about everything we were doing to care for a woman who could not even use a bedpan, while this woman I hardly know accused us of being freeloaders.
