[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mother literally cancelled plans to see her grandkids (who she never sees) in order to help out someone she’s never met and who is actually dead. I think I got this story straight. The husband of a woman she used to work with 10 years ago (but then moved a few states away) has a cousin who died 9 months ago and he lived 2 hours from my mother. He has a car that the husband claims they want to transfer title to so they can sell it. No idea about a will or whatever. So this lady asked my mother if they mailed her some documents, would drive 2 hours to pick up the car and bring back to her town, and go to DMV for them to get the title changed.

My mother said of course, let me cancel again on my grandkids. [/quote]

First, this sounds like your mom is being scammed.

PP few pages back re: mom obsessed with recalling exhaustive details…when the grandchildren were there were a few true emergency situations where our mom was completely unavailable.

A little nephew admitted to the hospital: my mom refused to help w/ other DC “because her landscaper was there” that day. I took off work and raced to the hospital after my sister called me sobbing.

Most recently, I was asked to lead an interactive art lesson to residents of my mom’s retirement community. Not only did my mom refuse to attend (“just not feeling great”) she wanted to hear all about who was there (“did you tell them I’m your mother? Did they say they knew me?”) and she thanked me for being there.
