[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My elderly mother insists on moving across country away from us. I am her only child and mother to her only elementary aged grandchild. She is single (divorce) for many years. I really can't understand why she is doing this. I will be unable to fly out at a moments notice should she become ill or injured. I have no Emergency funds and not to mention a child who would need to be watched.
I've tried to convince her to move here but she claims her pension will be taxed. When I offer to have her only pay for her Grover IRS in exchange for watching my kid ( I pay mortgage light etc) she falls back on the taxes. I'm pretty positive she doesn't like me but I know she loves her grandchild.[/quote]

What are you prattling on about? I do not need her to watch my child. I just can't leave my child alone to care for her. What I offered was payment in exchange for assistance. As I mentioned in a previous post she can't keep up with kid. I'd still have to hire somebody. My offer was really to try to entice her. Hey come live with me rent free would not fly with her.
