[QUOTE="SonBrotherFather, post: 761444, member: 28137"] [COLOR=rgb(44, 130, 201)]Appreciate your insight and comments. My mom is deferring to me (somewhat). At least she tells my brother that she has to discuss any requests with me. She understands there is a financial limit on the help she can give (based on my suggestions); her fear is that she will have not done enough while she is with us. And that absolutely breaks my heart. The 'old way' continues with a lot of my relatives. But I am standing firm. I've been told several times by older relatives that I need to honor the 'old way'. I have really strong neck muscles from all of the 'shaking-my-damn-head'. :)[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
