[quote=Anonymous]OP you GREATLY need to change your expectations. Hiking, big vacations, going out and socializing with her community - these are clearly things out of her range right now. And her range is going to narrow more and more as she ages. You are clearly out of touch with her reality. Also +1 to everyone saying your DH needs to step up. Why is SIL complaining to you? It should be going straight to her brother, and then he should be discussing it with you as his spouse. If SIL and your DH feel she really needs more interaction then look into senior centers that have transportation. You need something scheduled that is not optional - the van comes at 10 am and she needs to be ready. Maybe hire an aide to take her to specific activities 2 times a week. But SIL and your DH need to plan it out in advance. [/quote]
