Hi Rob, It's been a few years since I was my Mum's attorney but if I remember rightly as your Mum's attorney, you are legally responsible for her money and cannot give amounts like that away to your sisters (or even yourself) any more than you could to, for example, the postman or a passing stranger...

Hi Junie, I sympathise as my Mum was in exactly the same state a few years ago. She died over 3 years ago thank goodness as how she or I would have coped in the present situation I dread to think. (She was almost 100). I too visited her every day. Sound gives company and passes the time so:- A radio...

Hi Susan, I think you are saying that your husband is bed bound, has very poor sight and you have to do everything.

Hi Kirsty, I am so sorry for all of you especially the kind couple who are now being made miserable by Granddad.

Hi Judith, Your Mum will be frightened, of losing her independence, being ‘put’ in a Home, of losing her ability to cope, of losing everything she has always know, been able to do. Things you must NOT do:- Do not promise her she will not be ‘put’ in a Home, because one day that might be the only opt...

Buy her a 'Willow Tree Angel'. (Google it, lots of varieties). If she loves it, as I do mine, then you can add to the collection. Something that lasts and has a message.

Hi Annie, I read your post like this. I loved my nan and was happy to move in with her when my Aunt died to give her some companionship, TLC and general help. In return I was promised that I would inherit the house, keep my relationship going and have my own space. What you were looking at was Nan a...

Hi Natasha. I feel for you because you shouldn’t be in this position. My immediate feeling, and please understand that I have no wish to cause offence, is that you have been ‘groomed’ from an early age to ‘take care’ of your mother. The ‘leave me’ comments are just her way of putting pressure on you...
