[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom visits my overseas sister for long periods (4 to 6 weeks) and she falls in with their routine. Sister works part time, kids go to school, and my mom attends their events and pretty much goes with the flow. She always comes back feeling like she got a good visit. It’s made even harder because sister lives in a country where my mom cannot speak ANY of the language or even read it phonetically so she’s hopeless when it comes to shopping or going anywhere alone. If she can do it you can OP![/quote]

What happens when your mom visits your married with kids brother for 4-6 weeks? Does he work part time and have her tag along with him every day? [/quote]

I don’t have a brother. I mean while my sister is at work my mom amuses herself. She takes walks, does laundry, chops vegetables for dinner or whatever. Then they go together to school pickup, dance class, or whatever other errands need running. She doesn’t expect the routine to end because she’s there.
If you are saying that it would be different with a DIL then a daughter, that may or may not be the case. I have friends who are closer to their MILs than their own mothers. If my MIL wanted a visit like this I’d be happy to integrate her.[/quote]
