[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You must take sides here and I am usually a big advocate of staying out of things. MOM needs to get over it and move. It is a living hell when they age in place with a bunch of crap.It can take siblings who like eachother and turn them into mortal enemies. You can end up rensenting your parents during a time you want to be focused on loving them and helping them. When the shit hits the fan and they end up in the hospital and you are scrambling for residential care and dealing with your own kids and spouse the LAST thing you want to do is sort through their junk heap and deal or hire a company. If they are like my parents there are taxes going back decades and you need to shred that shit before someone from a company you hire steels the ss#.  Mom needs to get with the program. Somehow gently or firmly get her there.[/quote]

They don't need to move.  They need help inside the house and to make it senior friendly.  The issue is OP wants to dictate things and not help.[/quote]

Team OP! OP is being realistic.  You sound naive. My parents spend endless thousands of dollars to senior proof and in the blind of an eye, a medical issue makes it no longer senior proof enough. [/quote]
So what? It's their call.  It's their money. It's their risk to take.[/quote]
