Please forgive me distracting from you, Blanche. I just had to say this for my own sanity.  |
Oh boy.
Since our mom passed, dad routinely tells us that he is destitute and might have to eat cat food and if it gets to it if he can rely on our help. We routinely remind him that we will help him. We just say it to protect our sanity. Dad has 200k in the back, SS check, foreign pension check and the house, although I don’t think house is paid, and he is extremely frugal. He is NOT destitute
He also refuses to downsize. He has no need for the huge house with huge yard. Zero need. He also has no dementia. He is just being how he is. Pain in the rear end.
Your mom sounds a lot like my dad.
Oh my about streetcars mom smoking in the car. Great...NOT
