[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Indian American here. There are a few reasons already mentioned: 1. They like spending time with you all better. 2. The oldest son is traditionally the one who is supposed to take care of parents as they get older. Is there an expectation of this?[/quote] #1 doesn't seem to be the case, given what OP says, so it must be #2. OP, perhaps you and DH need to talk about caregiving expectations.[/quote] OP again. My inlaws are both in good health right now besides the usual aches and pains of aging. We had discussed a while ago that it would be very difficult for me to ever live with my MIL and came to the conclusion that if my FIL were to pass we would share caregiving responsibilities with his brothers if they became disabled/sick as well as hire full time care givers if needed. I am also very close to my mother and would have her live with us if she ever needed it.[/quote]
