Of course if the tables are turned, and my sis-in-law (bro's wife) tells my parents that they can't live w/her, i will be really pissed too.

I hope you get it now..if not PM..i'll explain in details.

Its not just cultural.....I think its in a Hadith(?) that we are supposed to take care of about parents/elders
