[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well,  on the Internet,  it's seems easy to say you should have a blunt conversation with both of them saying they're adults and dad can take care of himself,  and I'd he can't,  he needs to move to a nursing home because[b] non isn't his nurse.[/b] And mom should be an adult and go visit her daughter and grand kids without the man child is he doesn't want to go.  In reality this would probably not happen,  but mostly because I'm not that close to my parents (dad died when I was a teen and my mom was already remarried to someone else since I was a preschooler and I never liked the man,  he was borderline abusive too,  and my mom could never go anywhere w/o him after he retired which meant I had zero alone time with my mom until he died two years ago and by then there wasn't much relationship anyway.)  so the rational side says you're in a jam,  but Internet me says be blunt.

Actually, if she took the vows as usually read at weddings, in sickness and in health, does mean you are responsible for your spouses health, safety, wellbeing, etc. Doesn't mean you can't hire it out, but you are supposed to be there. Maybe that's how her mom sees things.[/quote]
