[quote=Anonymous]My gosh, FIL's wife is on a vent. We learned during Covid that vent usually means you are on the way out of this world.   He wants his son to drive him to the hospital for support.

I'd look into a motel next to the hospital. They offer free shuttles to the hospitals.

Sometimes the Ronald McDonald houses next to the hospitals will allow adults to stay for free if they have rooms open. They have free shuttles to the hospitals.

That said, FIL probably feels more comfortable in his own home.

EVERYONE WITH ELDERLY PARENTS SHOULD ALWAYS BOOK REFUNDABLE TRAVEL. It is a little pricier.
If you have to cancel you get your money back.
If you book non refundable you risk losing what you paid in if you have to cancel. ALWAYS BOOK REFUNDABLE TRAVEL.

DH Mom is most likely dying.  You need to back off and let him provide the support he needs to for his Dad.

I guess you and the kids could go on the luxury non refundable trip to Europe while DH helps to support his Dad. Families support each other during tough times.

I agree with a prior poster that your post comes across as harsh.[/quote]
