[QUOTE="RidgeHunter, post: 2786660, member: 4319"] A reverse situation of the "family first" mantra bring abused is my girlfriend's sister. She is 40 and never moved out because she has the family convinced she "takes care of mom" even though mom didn't need care until very recently. In reality she got a free place to live and a babysitter for her kid while she closed down the bars nightly and slept until afternoon. I don't play that crap. We've got sick people and old people in the family too and we are kind to them without anyone getting shafted. And they're not the type to want to shaft anyone, luckily. It's emotional manipulation when people abuse the kindness of others or use illness as a key to the proverbial city. If grandma can be taken care of in a way that makes OP's life better, that needs to happen. Matters not if OP is a jerk. His wife will benefit from it too. ****, they've been stressed to tbe point of divorce being threatened. This situation is clearly not sustainable. [/QUOTE]
