[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you need to use your father’s credit card when you buy stuff for him. Or use a dedicated credit card, buy his things separately, and reimburse yourself. [/quote] Someone would then need to pay that credit card bill at the end of the month which my father no longer remembers to do regularly. We also were worried about home health aids finding and using credit cards so we had him cancel his credit cards because he rarely used them. And he is not with me when I am at Costco or a target so I never felt right taking his credit card. And inevitably when I take him to appointments he can’t find his checkbook because he has squirreled it away somewhere or the place doesn’t really want checks. So for example four months ago I paid $196 for his eyeglasses. He’s been a really good dad so I never minded but I am just so angry at the deadbeat sibling who I found has been telling distant relatives and old family friends that they still visit. [/quote]
