[quote=Anonymous]My parents, who are younger than your MIL, sit around doing practically nothing. Some people are just like that, OP. Complaining about it is just a habit, it doesn't mean she wants to change. So don't worry about that part of it, but DO worry about SIL burning out and resenting you and your husband for not doing enough. Take her out more often, for meals and tiny walks in lovely parks where she can sit on a bench and chat with you. Or put her in a wheelchair and go to a museum. Or take her for a nice drive to see fall leaves, or Christmas lights, or whatever it is. But during the week, she can sit and watch TV. [/quote]
