[quote=Anonymous]OP - I also am the only girl with two brothers who are not all that interested in helping or caring for my parents. I wonder if the dynamic you describe is at least in part because your brothers know you will pick up the slack. My one brother has all but admitted that fact to me. My DH is an only boy and he takes great care of his mother - there's no one else to do it! As a DIL, it's a little bit of a pain to have to deal with the guilt that if we don't see her for a holiday, she will be alone (my in-laws are divorced), but I have a lot of compassion for her, so I suck it up and treat her like I would want my own mother to be treated. Hopefully you have the same experience with your own kid, but that is so far down the road. Enjoy the little guy you have now![/quote]
