[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks. The responses are helpful. They have my number because she gave it them just in case. For one it was the first time helping mom, the other it was the second. These were favors not requests for full-time care. Both neighbors had offered. I had not expected anything from them. However, their offers made her think she had this village and then as soon as she uses her village, they call me and complain. I get it, she does not give you the warm fuzzies that should come with volunteering. I tried to tell her to stop, but she doesn't believe me because they have given no indication to her there is an issue. So they need to set their own boundaries. Sorry to hear there are lots of people like mom. Re: pushing AL after a procedure. I had heard that. The problem is when you are of sound mind and willing to hire help at home, there is not much the hospital social worker can do even though people quit dealing with her. [/quote]
