An argument? What did the mother try to play a joker in a pair during Mahjong?

You, my friend, have clearly never been the caretaker for an 80 something year old woman. Arguments are frequent (depending on the person) because they lose their filter.

This, so this. Even when Savannah did a lovely tribute to her mom she said something like...she will tell you what she thinks whether you like it or not. When someone loses their filter (even without dementia) that can turn into sharp verbal daggers with no self-awareness or empathy.

I Engage with my PITA mother-in-law all the time who says horrifying things and I’ve never gotten in an argument with her. That’s called emotional maturity.

Maybe they were telling her it was time for assisted living and it escalated. You have no idea.

That would warrant a murder in your family?

No one is saying any of this would make us murder our family members. Stop with your straw man argument. It's nonsensical.

That’s not awfully interesting. 84 is a great age, but not a “milestone” birthday. A dinner at my house is exactly how I expect my own parents would hope to celebrate.

It’s interesting in that if it was planned as a celebration, given her recent birthday, that there were no other guests or witnesses to the dinner. Did she actually make it to the dinner? Was there a dinner?

The uber driver may have picked up a woman, but was it the mother?

Do you have local family? I think people who don't think get togethers need to be huge/momentous. We have annual birthday celebrations with my local MIL where no friends are invited! Not everything has to be a huge party. We just had one last week where we went do dinner then came back for cake. She had lunch separately with her friends. Not "interesting" at all- you are really trying to twist this into something nefarious.

Often elderly folks prefer small gatherings. When my grandma turned 90 we did a big extended family gathering. It wiped her out for the next month-lots of sleeping and exhaustion from too much excitement. She preferred brief visits with just a few people at a time.

This has nothing to do with elder preferences but establishing a scenario and supporting alibi.

If the police have no one to ask, you can’t possibly be found guilty.

If it’s just the three of you, and you’re living ten minutes away from each other, why is there a need for an Uber? Presumably time is flexible if others are not invited and if you had something to do, you could swing by and pick mom up right after or even have her ride along while you ran your errand.

The food would still be hot if you leave and grab her after you’re finished cooking.

If your kid needed to be dropped off at a sleepover or other event, same thing, logistics can be arranged that include stopping to pick her up.

But if you need to have someone else see her being brought to your home, to prove she was at a dinner with you, then you need the Uber.

There’s very few reasons to require an 84yo to Uber to your home for dinner.

It's not unusual for older people to take ubers in situations like this to go to someone's house, even when they are offered rides. My elderly great aunt was always telling me "I'll hop in a cab!" or "I'll just hop in an uber!" (after she learned to use it) when I invited her over, even if I offered a ride.

It was harder for her to refuse the ride back home because I was right there insisting in person with the keys in my hand.

For a ten minute car ride?

You are lower than low if you engage in an argument with an 84 year-old.

Not the poster you are referring to, but you clearly have not dealt with someone with no filter. It's not about arguing, it's about getting away and trying de-escalate. My own mother has been fired by doctors/nurses/drivers/lawyers etc and she has been asked to leave places. When she screams, they have needed to scream back when she won't calmly leave. nobody can force her take calming meds. Not saying this is Savannah's mom, but it's not like some gentle soul gives a little tiny eruption. They get fixated and it's very difficult to de-escalate. It takes endless patience, serenity and emotional maturity and not everyone has that.

So you’re saying you’re capable of murdering a family member like this? If they push you too far?

I posted above that I have to interact with my mother-in-law who is just like this. I cannot imagine any situation to which she pisses me off so bad that I chop her up to pieces and flush down the toilet.

Oh ok. What happened to Nancy then?

It's odd for this to be done to someone who is not a suspect. None of the family members are suspects.
