[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP just wen through with my parents. Downsizing is nice if you are not the one who is downsizing, moving to a small place and waiting to died. So yep she does not want to move to the next sage of life who does? It is very depressing to know the end is coming. Try to have some sympathy.  [b]Wait till its your turn and people are putting your life in trash bags and throwing it away.[/b] Also I am sure she has done things for you and your sisters that you never thanked her for- maybe call it even? Sounds like she has not been doing well for a long time and no one was there for her. [/quote]

Let me tell you, when I emptied out my mom's house, I resolved [b]never[/b] to put my kids through that. I am going to downsize my own crap well ahead of time.

And oh by the way, any "sympathy" you have for how depressed they are about the transition to a new stage of life evaporates after the first exhausting 12 hour day out sorting through their crap, taking stuff to the dump, going to Goodwill, etc. I had a week of days like that and it was a good thing she wasn't around because it would have been hard not to yell at her.
