[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd say something the next time she brings it up. "Mom, can you stop saying you'll help us out? If you don't want to send any money that's fine, but stop telling us you will." Of course we shouldn't count on others' money, but if she constantly brings it up she's basically lying to your face. And no one wants to hear that all the time. [/quote] I don't think OP needs to be hard on her as she's 84. She may just need OP to be more direct whenever she needs money. Just politely but directly ask her to pay for graduate school, or whatever else OP needs money for. If it's a large estate, she'll probably be happy to do it, but she is old, and she needs OP to take the lead. At least this is how things go with my mom - she wants to help, but she's not an initiator. [/quote] If that is being "hard on her" you must be very soft. Not everyone wants to beg for money that is freely offered to them, but not followed up. [/quote]
