No one is suggesting she martyr herself. She volunteered that she had the resources to provide housing and it might be a good investment for her. Some people are wallowing in their hatred for their own parents, gloating that they live in substandard conditions (nothing but secondhand furniture for them!), and some are saying if you can help your parent without harming your family you absolutely should.

Those of you who think you’re such wonderful parents are eventually going to find out what modeling a lack of mercy does. [/quote]

I honestly cannot stand posters like you. You are completely misunderstanding what mercy is. Being merciful is not about funding someone's overconsumption. If someone had a car paid off and then decided to get a new one they cannot afford, paying for it has nothing to do with mercy. The ridiculous part in all this is that you apparently think of yourself as someone merciful. Most posts here about their elderly parents have a common denominator in said parents having lavish and unaffordable lifestyles and lifelong overconsumption. Not war situations, famine, natural disasters. No. Overconsumption. [/quote]
