I sure hope it works out also, i just saw enough while back there to be concerned.

I don't know anything about your family and it's none of my business so I can't comment  on if it's strange or not,  I guess it just depends on what you think.

I think this is a case where outsiders need to MYOB.   Whatever the reasons,  it's not something for others to become involved in.

Re: does this sound strange?

I think it is one of the oddest things I've ever heard of.  Just hearing that, on the surface, I think the poor son who went with mommy is caught in the middle and taking the brunt of it from his mom.  And I think his wife would be terribly hurt, even if she said "Ok. Go."

 

Not knowing of course this is a simple opinion and someone ask so don't beat me up.  It's just what I happen to think. . .

Not necessarily a bad thing. I can envision situations in which certain family members who don't see each other often or who need to offer support due to a recent loss or something like that might want to spend special time together. I don't worry much about what other people are doing, to be honest.

@Sooner I agree the situation does seem off but maybe the son wanted to make a special memory for his mom because her health isn't great.I like you stated don't have enough info to really comment but I think it is sad that they couldn't find a way to all spend at least some time at the dinner table together.I am the mom of an only son so I always hope that he will find a way to include me in his life.I don't expect to be his priority but it sure would be hurt to be forgotten.

HOPEFULLY, his wife is okay with the arrangement.

@goldensrbest1dont think it is a problem if those who are involved aren't upset.They might have come to an agreement due to circumstances that you aren't aware of at this time.I think you should  not spoil your day worrying about something that could be nothing at all.Happy Thanksgiving!

So?

 

Let your brother and his wife worry about their own marriage.

 

They really don't need you meddling in their affairs, and stirring up trouble where there isn't any.

 

Just butt out and MYOB.
