[quote=Anonymous]I suppose this is really a problem I have with my spouse, but it involves an aging parent so I’m putting it here. One of my ILs is in denial about how their limited mobility affects others. They still insist they can participate in every family event, even those that require lots of walking (think graduations, family weekends at college, performances, etc.) Helping IL navigate these events becomes the primary focus of the day and, frankly, I’m getting resentful. This isn’t a just a matter of having to park closer. IL will get stuck in restaurant booths or mid-way down staircases for prolonged periods of time. They say they just need to “rest” for a moment before continuing, but they literally cannot continue without significant physical support. In addition to being very stressful, we’ve also missed portions of events because of these incidents. (Oftentimes these events are live-streamed, but spouse will not present that as an option.) Any advice? [/quote]
