[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My MIL, who lives alone, 5 miles from our house, was too scared to stay at home by herself and came to our house to ride out the storm.  Kill me now.[/quote]

Seriously, that's the right call.  She shouldn't be alone.  Have a heart.[/quote]

If she's 85, sure. If she's 63? She can nut up and be a grown-up. It's a snowstorm, not the End of Days. Seriously.[/quote]

For all the last PP knows, the MIL has health issues or has had trouble in the past with her home having problems during storms (losing power for days on end, for instance--some areas/houses seem to lose power more readily than others). It's easy to snark that MIL can "nut up and be a grown-up" but PP has zero knowledge of what MIL's issues with staying home are, and the person who posted above about the MIL doesn't tell us.

Like the far more compassionate PP said, have a heart. [/quote]

Actually I did respond and said she is 62 and in good health. Our house loses power far more than hers because her power lines are underground. I don't think she was scared as much as she didn't want to be bored. She also doesn't know how to cook so she wanted dh and I to cook for her.  It was fine, she stayed for five days and just went home. Actually, we drove her back home after shoveling out her driveway and sidewalks. [/quote]
