[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not your brother-in-law's fault his mother had a stroke. She's old. Her health is not his problem. He has a life of his own. He's an adult, and does not have to go everywhere his parents go anymore.[/quote]

He has a moral obligation to do the right thing and not just drop it on his siblings. He is a loser.[/quote]

How do you know he would object if his brother stopped visiting their mother as well? Haven't you heard the saying, "to each his own"? Just like OP's brother-in-law has no right to tell her husband to not visit their mother, her husband has no right to tell her brother-in-law to visit their mother. The BIL is probably just grateful that their mother lived as long as she did. I mean, I have a childhood friend whose mother died in her 30s when she was only 8.[/quote]

So?[/quote]

So, I think she would feel insulted if she knew that someone whose mother was alive way longer still wasn't ready to part with them. She'd probably react the same way that starving children in the world would react upon hearing someone who gets three square meals a day complaining that they're still hungry.[/quote]
