[quote=Anonymous]The family (please read my in-laws) have been MIA since my husband fell ill a few months ago. We got the usuals "if you guys need anything please let us know" but every time we reached out to them they were always "busy" or they had their own plans already. Once in a while they would call to ask if we could do cook out during the summer... We hosted a few but stopped since I was not getting any help and I was starting to burn out. Anyhow, a few weeks ago they all started reaching out. They have offered to cook and bring food, help with house chores, they have been calling DH to check how he is doing and wanting to stop by to see him etc. Coincidentally, my PIL sold their house and moved to an apartment a few weeks ago which means they can't hold 20 plus guests in their apartment . Last Sunday, my MIL pulled DH aside to ask if we could host thanksgiving since we have a house that can accommodate a big group. Of course my husband said we would discuss and get back to her. I am not sure how I feel about hosting grown ups who abandoned their own, only to start reaching out when they need us. WWYD? [/quote]
