Going to have to do an Inventory of my mom's belongings!!

The last few times I've been to see mom (shortly after my brother and his g/f) had been down I have noticed that her shelves (bookshelf, hutch, etc.) seem to be a tad emptier. I thought it was just my imagination. When I mentioned it to mom she said "Oh well, they must have just moved stuff around when they were dusting". I saw no signs that anything had been dusted...except for the odd spots where there was no dust and it looked as if something had been removed.

Anyway, I let it go, thinking that perhaps mom had given brother and g/f stuff (none of my business). When mom was asked she denied it).

Last week, when my daughter and the kids were there, she too, noticed that the shelves seemed emptier.

On Tuesday, I was out at moms and my niece and nephew (brother's kids) and his ex-wife were there for a visit. They too, commented on the fact that they thought things were going missing. My niece mentioned that she had been up to her dad's and noticed things that she could have sworn came from moms place...but she didn't say anything because she wasn't 100% sure.

Mom denies that she gave them anything...especially not the g/f (NOBODY in the family likes or trusts her).

So I have decided to go out and do an inventory of all my moms China, Crystal, Figurines, and other knick knacks...valuable and sentimental ones. Also want to keep track of my dads many paintings (ones he painted himself)...and his many wildlife prints (some that are very expensive).

I'm always complaining that my brother doesn't come down to visit mom often enough...now I am actually relieved. If they are the culprits they would have cleaned her out by now. As far as I'm concerned they can just stay away...or he can come alone. I doubt he would steal from his mom....but I'm also sure that he would help the g/f cart stuff away (he is a wimp and likely afraid of the g/f ....she is a very mentally unstable person and I suspect my brother doesn't have it all together either).

One day, we might just drive up to their place for a reconnaisance mission...and take a look see for ourselves. Of course we would have to arrive unannounced and hope they are home...otherwise it would be a 3 to 4 hour drive for nothing.

GRRR!! I'm thinking Elder Abuse...and I fully intend to put a stop to it!!

That's my Wednesday Rant...a day late...but better late than never.

Hope all is well with my Blog Family

*Hugs and Blessings to all*

	Sue发表: The surprise visit is indeed a great idea. If it were me, I would confront them both together if I found things missing. It IS your business to see that your Mom isn't taken advantage of. If g-f took those items, and bro claims he doesn't know, I'd sure confront her, but with a witness! Don't do it alone, or it's your word against hers. Hope this all gets straightened out. Remember, anger will only pull the family further apart... 11 月 11 日
	Duckie发表: This is terrible and I am certain that you did not want to follow your train of thought. I am angry just reading this. Yes it is abuse!! I would announce to the family, "Heads are going to roll!!" 11 月 10 日
	BeeGreatGranny发表: So sorry to hear this and I hope things work out...good idea to make a surprize visit. 11 月 10 日
	spaceMichiko's发表: I feel sorry for your mum that shouldn't happents anyway without asked you mum. How awful thing to do your mum. I agree with Terry that make sure you can proof all items by taken pictures. 11 月 9 日
	AMI发表: That is sad that you have to take inventory but at the same time, it is a very smart thing to do. I am sorry that you have to have more of the worry about things put on to you! It is very upsetting to me because I know you already work hard and are available in every way for your family. Who ever might be taking these things, is not only stealing and abusing your Mother but they are making things much harder for you! Yeah, I am a little annoyed by that even though I dont know you personally in the physical sense. Wishing you a good weekend, Karin. xoxo 11 月 7 日
	Many BlessingsGrandma's发表: @ Terry, taking photos is an excellent idea...we will do that for sure...thank you!! 11 月 6 日
	Rambling发表: Oh Karin...please do take the inventory and please..if you all can. make the unannounced visit. I am so sorry for all that, as if enough isn't already happening. 11 月 5 日
	Beth发表: This is truly awful. I hope that it all gets straightened out. 11 月 5 日
	Terry发表: That is really so sad. Take pictures along with the inventory. How someone could do such a thing is awful. 11 月 5 日
	Andrea发表: How sad! I am thinking how some kind of alarm could be set that would go off when something is moved and maybe that would deter them from taking stuff? Hope you find a solution 11 月 5 日
