[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP: MIL is 79. All good suggestions. [b]But the hope is that she'll branch out more and do things with other people, not just us. [/b]She should not be sitting around bored during the week when there's a ton for retired people to do. She just takes no initiative. I don't think it's fair for her to depend mostly on her kids for her social needs. Plus, I have my own widowed mother.[/quote] She is your family. Period. I find your response really cold and lacking compassion. You want permission to ignore her. And that’s shi—y. You best hope your kids don’t feel like that when u need them. It is absolutely not too much to ask that you visit or do something with her 1 a week or every other week. [/quote] The woman is almost 80 years! I had my MIL until she was 77 and I cherished every moment with her. I never wished she'd spend more time with other people. I feel sad for your MIL. [/quote]
