[quote=Anonymous]My mother died recently & my father, who was married to her for 50 yrs, is beyond grieving. So my sis & I are helping however we can. My father has said he is scared to be alone in such a big house now. He asked us to visit frequently. My sister lives with him four days out of the week but has made it clear she will not be available Fridays throughSunday.  My hubs & I, along with our children drive 300 miles each wkend to make sure he will not be left alone. He appreciates it very much, but lately he & my sis have started complaining about me. My family's home is very dirty. My mother was not much of a cleaner& my father never had time. I found insects in old cereal boxes and a mice behind the frig last wkend. Hubs &I have started cleaning the house. We also replaced dirty dish rags with a stack of new towels, replaced months old dish sponges with new ones. When their dishwasher broke, we replaced that too. Tonight my sister told me that she & my father are upset that I've thrown their stuff out without permission. I told her that the only things I replaced wasdish towels, sponges, and pot holders. Petty stuff but necessary since they werefilthy. The dw was our gift. She made such a big stink of it though, that I was offended. Here I am, compromising my entire family's weekends to help, & I'm being scolded for replacing dish towels & sponges & pot holders? She said it was rude to throw ANYTHING out. I said the key point shes missing is that I replaced them with something better. She insisted it was rude. Who is wrong here??? They use sponges on dishes where raw meat was, but expect me to use it next on my baby's bottle? No thanks. So I bought many more sponges.[/quote]
