Herr Reinhart

The Reinhart brothers disagree about where their mother should live.

Show text version

Mr. Reinhart is burdened by the responsibility of caring for his mother’s large house on top of caring for her. He thinks it would simplify the situation considerably if his mother were to move in with him. His brother, though, prefers that their mother move into a nursing home, which leaves Mr. Reinhart feeling misunderstood.

The Reinhart brothers disagree about where their mother should live.

R: Aber, er ist jetzt zum Beispiel auch einer, der das überhaupt nicht sieht, dass meine Mutter oder unsere Mutter hier ist. Das sieht er gar nicht. Er möchte sie in einem Altersheim haben. Ich habe mir die Frage gar nie gestellt, sondern ich habe meiner Mutter die Frage gestellt. Was möchtest du? Ich habe ihr die Optionen aufgezählt und dann war ganz klar, bei euch sein. Ich habe dort noch gefragt, bei P [Bruder von R] oder bei mir? P [Name] ist mein Bruder. Dann hat sie gesagt, ja, bei euch. Also, bei einem von uns. Aber anscheinend ist das keine Option für meinen Bruder unsere Mutter zu nehmen, weil er arbeitet.
