Lonely Parents

solution= GHARDAMAD .......as Samad would say :D

ok but on a serious note.....if I decide to get married my mother will be alone. So my sisters and I have decided that if my mother agrees she can sell the house and have a primary home with one us. This is where she will keep most of her belongings. She will travel b/w the 3 of us every few weeks or months...how little or long her stay is depends solely on her and how far away from my sisters I end up living.

My brother-in-laws adore my mother and they have a very close relationship with her so they dont mind having her stay with them at all. If I get into a serious enough relationship with someone this matter will surely be discussed with him prior to any marriage agreement. I refuse to leave my mother alone...unless she wants to be left alone.....as of now she has no plans on living with anyone because she is quite independent and capable of caring for herself Alhamdulillah.

Hogwash! :D

dont let our culture brainwash you into believing this is true. In Islam...the responsibilty of caring for parents is for BOTH sons and daughters...EQUALLY. No matter how busy and no matter how many responsibilties one has....you will be questioned on the Day of Judgement on how well YOU treated YOUR parents.

If one cares for their in-laws it is out of love for their spouse and keeping peace within your marriage.....of course Allah will reward you for doing so. So it's always a good idea to take care of your in-laws the way you would care for your own parents.
