[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Rest assured when Mom needs inhome care the nephew will feel obligated to provide it, which frees you[/b]. I think some people are generous with younger people because they expect the favor to be returned when they are incapacitated and need help. You may want to say to mom, “I’m so pleased you are helping Nephew and he is going to be there for you when you need him. He will surely want to repay your generosity.”[/quote]

Zero shot this will happen. Zero. Which is exactly why you should say something because not only is it going to affect you mother's financial future but it will also affect yours down the road. Nephew is manipulating his grandmother because he probably doesn't think anyone else knows. Call him on it and he may be so embarrassed and ashamed that he will stop on his own. If your sibling is still alive, you need to email your sibling and nephew ASAP to put a stop to it. And have a serious sit down with your mother and tell her this isn't financially smart and needs to end.

FWIW, my parents were in a similar situation with a cousin of mine asking for money and as soon as my mother called her sister, she was so embarrassed that she immediately called my cousin and read her the riot act. She called my mother in tears minutes later and hasn't asked for a dime since.[/quote]
