Mum's just texted the twin to ask her if she has set up a bank account for mum to put some money in.
In 2011 my mum decided she needed to downsize from her 4 bedroom house and the da was looking for something bigger so he could have the grandkids and friends more, so they swapped. Da's flat was only two bedrooms so they struck a deal where mum would get some money from him equalvilent to the selling price of the house minus the selling price of the falt.
Mum's on benefits due to the bi polar and didn't want this affected by the extra cash, so it was agreed that the twin and I would when it was all sorted set up an account in one name that mum could have access too so she could survive on this money. its only just sorted out (almost) and mum isn't speaking to da at the moment anyway.
However in the interim mum and twin and I had a fall out due to a major manic episode. (she says she was just happy then sad) and have only built bridges as older sis wants a happy Christmas. We only took those first tenantive steps yesterday and already she asking for favours.
Really don't think its a good idea, cause if we do this at some point she will accuse us of stealing from her and even if she doesn't there's that whole fraud issue. twin's told her she hasn't had the time to do this but waiting for the fallout.
is it really wrong to hope she'll take offence so we don't have to deal with her over the festive period?
No no its not
