I am not and never was trying to make a federal case of this simple

saying is that when I am unable to attend to this the old lady is
the main one that it bothers. If she were to slip and fall on
slippery leaves that have taken over her walk way one might look at
this in a different light. She still drives her car and still likes
to get around without having to deal with what otherwise would be
nothing and I still have to find a way to make everyone happy.

Honey, suppose it snows, and this little old lady slips and falls? Who
you gonna blame? Hello???

I'm not unsympathetic to your situation as my parents are very close
to your mother-in-law's age. I also understand the parameters here
and work within them.

Snow is my responsibility unless is comes from the guy next door tossing it
over the fence. My wife and I have always taken good care of her and always
will and I am only reacting to her point. If she slips on snow I don't think
it would be the same as something that can be prevented. She mentioned that
she would love to remove them herself jokingly. Feisty lady that she is.
