Financial obligation of parent
I have been taking care of my mother-in-law for over eight years now. The other siblings three of them whom make three times my huband have never offered financial help. I can't work because she has to be supervised. Can i legally require them to pay me for taking care of thier mother?

No.
You have no obligation to do so and neither do they.
You should be commended for doing so and they should be ashamed for failing to help, but the law can offer you no solution for their moral failure.
