[quote=Anonymous]We don't support my parents financially and they won't need it. But when my dad passes away, we'll invite my mom to join us so she's not alone. She'll probably turn us down, unless the rest of my siblings move away from the city they're all in together. If we had an in-law suite to offer her, maybe she'd consider it for at least part of the year.

DH's parents, on the other hand, will need help. We already pay for their health insurance, medical bills when something big comes up, and their airfare for when they're willing to visit us. They have nothing saved for retirement - nothing. So, we'll likely be covering their rent & food when MIL can no longer work, splitting it with my SIL if she's able to help out, and then they may move in with us if we're able to sort out health insurance for them out here, but it's complicated, and anyway, none of this is really on the table while FIL is still with us - he's abusive and an alcoholic, so I'm not willing to have him live with the kids. I'll make sure they've got a home and food to eat, but it's tricky. Family's tricky. [/quote]
