Dude. He will be dead in a few months. Tell your wife to man up and take care of him. This isn't that hard, you selfish a-hole.

Yes, it is. Especially if you have young/younger kids

It doesn’t sound like he’s asking for them to come over in the evenings, he’s asking for around the clock care from people that already have full day responsibilities. If he was simply asking not to be alone at night, you go over there every night and have dinner and someone stays with him. You do that until the end.

But that’s not what the OP is saying.

Want to know how I can tell you’ve never cared for anyone in hospice?

Hardest thing I’ve ever had to do was physically and emotionally care for my dying Mom in hospice care. The nurses only come a couple times a week and you’re the one doing all of the lifting, cleaning, feeding (if they’re still eating), administering end of life meds, etc.

If you are unable to sit there with a suction bulb while your parent’s organs fail and suction the fluid coming out of their nose, then you don’t need to be there.
