Just two days before one of my freind was telling me about his family problem. He is a married person and living with his mother and father and with his small brother.He loves his parents very much and wanted to look after them as well as his small brother also.Because his small brother is at home since two years because he can not stand and walk properly due to an accident.They did lot of treatment to make him stand on his legs but its taking too much time. Now the real problem is that my freinds wife don't want to stay in that house because of the dialy fights between her and her mother in law. they can not stand each other. My freinds mother always try to show the falts in whatever work his wife did.Because of this she get fed up with her.So she is forcing my freind to move from that house.Because of this daily drama, my freind also get irritated.which is deffinately affecting on his carrier. He can take a new house but being elder son of the family he has got responsibility to take care of his brother and his old parents. He was asking me what to do. In my opinion I told him to stay with the family because his brother is totaly depended on him until he get cured. I want to know from all my mylot freinds opinion about this. What do you think? wether he stay with his family or take a new home?

OK I might not be liked for this but its my opinion and comes from my own life and how I was brought up. I dont think any child should be expected to care for a sibling, yes help out but when you marry you do so to go on and have your own family, as parents we should expect this and encourage our children to live their own lives. If his parents wish for his help so much they should learn to be nicer to his wife so they can stay no one should ever have to stay where they are miserable and someone treats them so appallingly so I think with all due respect he needs to be talking to his mother about all this and making her realise if she wants him to do his duty that she has to learn more respect for his wife and treat her better.

Ya, may be u r right, but when your little brother is helpless presently how one can expect to go on and have your own family. deffinately every parents should encourage their children to live their own family but when parents are in need children must be their to help them after all because of their hardwork, caring and guidance every child makes their destiny. one thing I agree with u that parents has to learn some respect towards the freinds wife. Thanks for response.
