[quote=Anonymous][quote]One option since your mom seems to be very interested in where her things will go is to make a full inventory (including what had already been taken by sticky fingers) and have your mom put down who it should go to and when. [/quote] This is what my parents did. They had everything valued, made a list with the value next to each item, and then had all the siblings over for dinner where we were given our own copies. We all checked off 10-15 things we really wanted and gave them back to our parents. Our parents assigned who was to get what. They made an effort to make sure everyone got roughly equal values for the total of their items and everyone got some purely sentimental items, also. It was a good way to make things fair and keep everyone happy. Could you suggest something like this to your mom? Are you and your sister her only children? [/quote]
