To think if I invite my parents to dinner, I shouldnt have to feed my brother too!!

Should be clear his 28 years old but still lives at home. It's nit him it's my parents. If I invite them they insist I put aside a dish for db to take to work or that he can have at home!!

My mum had a stroke earlier in the year and dad is struggling somewhat.
He has said he thinks we should have him and mum round once a week to make it easier on him . while I don't mind and understand it's not really on to think we should feed db aswell too!

Just so I'm not drip feeding I'm one of four, there is 3 girls and one boy.
Sister 1 has four children, two of which have cerabal palsy, sister 2 is misdee who now has 5 children, and me, I only have 2 but both girls have autism.

As you can see we all have enough to do without 3 extra mouths to feed :(

Perhaps in order to ease the situation a bit, you could have your parents over every other weekend, and once a month, go over to your mum's and organise a few things cooked in her kitchen that you can then put in her freezer in portion sizes so that they can heat them up themselves at their house. That way you still have them coming over, but you're helping them with meal prep at their own house (with their own groceries!). Would that be doable? And while you're doing that at their house, teach your DB how to make a few things, so that eventually he can take over the duty.
