[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not the drive. Once he gets there, he'll have to go through the hassle of finding a place to stay and live in unfamiliar surroundings. I can't say I blame him.[/quote]

So...finding a hotel for a brief visit is too big a hassle, so that's a legit reason not to make what might be a last visit to see your parent. Nineties plus stroke (even a mini-stroke, which some on this thread seem to think is nothing at all) is pretty much a yellow flag that mom may die sooner rather than later.

And there you are, you happen to be much closer than usual to where mom is in the hospital, so she's just a few hours away for once! But--aw, darn, those pesky hotels are just way too hard to deal with.

God forbid a halfway capable adult should have to go through the hassle of....getting a hotel room.

He's effing retired. He doesn't have to worry about getting home to go to a job tomorrow, or even a week from tomorrow. No one is asking him to "live in unfamiliar surroundings." Where are you even getting that nonsense? He's not being asked to MOVE there. Even if you don't like OP wishing he would help out more (he sure could), the fact he doesn't see 91-year-old mom's being hospitalized as a reason to just go see her for the sake of seeing her, is something he will probably end up regretting. But, but, but...hotel hassles!
