[quote=Anonymous]I think you have to let it go unless it's really dangerous or an infestation. Whoever buys the house will probably want to do updates anyway. It's not worth the money or the hassle. Your mother probably doesn't feel she can handle the stress of dealing with it-- and she's probably right. Why don't you project manage it yourself? With my dad, I eventually got fed up with his concealment and denial and I told him straight out "Your pretending to understand conversatoin is not fooling anyone. I know you have significant hearing loss, and you can stop trying to hide it." He was embarrassed, but it got us out of a bad pattern and into being more candid with each other. I wish it hadn't been necessary but it was. So you could try simply stating to your mom that you know what's going on, and maybe she'll stop trying to conceal it.[/quote]
