[quote=Anonymous]NP here. OP, I would think through by yourself (and maybe a close friend who might be objective...ie NOT your husband at this moment) what you think you COULD do for your mom and set your boundaries now. If you know that you can do a lot for her without having her move in or mooch off of you, then you can feel comfortable with boundaries. "Moving in" is such a major transition that there certainly should not be an expectation from ANY parent that kids should take them in. But you may be able to provide extras for you mom (or send her some support) that you could live with. Some of the reason we support our parents, even neglectful ones, is to demonstrate to our kids. But only you know how that would make you feel. Whatever you do, do what you can live with. That is the decision you're making.[/quote]
