We just want to get all Mil's bills paid and settle with the hospital and do things right and she is worrying us all the time, calling our lawyer, and our bank and just doing things that normal people wouldn't do.
Pam, the more you give some people, the more they want and they never learn.
Sorry you all are going through this, we think it will soon be over and then she can't bother us anymore, once your sister runs through hers, all you can do is say NO!!!
Wow, that takes some nerve (or other things you could call it) to call your lawyer and bank. I hope that they are giving her NO information and shouldn't even be taking her calls on the matter.
I have told my sister no. They were trying to re-finance their house and take out equity a couple of years ago when house prices were way up. My sister said she wanted to go to Hawaii. They have bad credit and couldn't get a loan so they asked me to put her husband on one of my credit cards as an authorized user so that it would show up on his credit as a good account. I declined. I have worked hard for my good credit and I am not tying my finances to theirs in any way. I don't know how but they eventually got a loan and according to my father their house payments are now $4k per month. After that is when they had to borrow $32k to get their loan current or go into foreclosure.
I want to see Egypt, Italy, a few other places too but I'll wait until all this is settled and I've allocated where it is to go. I wouldn't borrow money to do it!
