[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can definitely empathize, but it's very similar to how things are with my own mother and mother-in-law who are both American born and raised. Our parents were on the older side when they had us and we had kids in our early 40s. So we have moms in their late 70s and they aren't rushing around doing housework. My own mom does a lot of child care but even with my first-born she's sit on the couch during week 1 and ask me what's for dinner. You can't change who your parents or in-laws are...it is what it is. Plus, unfortunately, for a lot of people who become parents at an older age, you have to sometimes care for your own parents while you care for your young children. And there are no grandpas, either :([/quote] 70s is not that old if you are not ill. The in-laws can probably make their own breakfast(Op indicated that they can take care of themselves), heat up leftovers for dinner, and wash their plates. They can offer to do light cleaning such as cleaning the counters and doing dishes. [/quote]
