My mom had a stroke before my dad died two years ago. Now my mom is giving me her rings. Do I take them?

I have an older sister and a younger brother. My sister got mom earings and my mom gives me her rings telling me not to tell any one. I worry that my sister will get mad at me for this. I don't want to fight over my parents personal things. My dad is no longer alive to ask him what to do about this and I'm at a loss of what to do. My sister doesn't like me and never has. My brother is wonderful taken care of our mom and living with her. My sister doesn't go over to help clean my parents house like I do. It's painfull to see mom's house so dirty and her not being able to clean it. My sister takes advantage of her when she takes her out to town and makes mom pay for every thing. I don't spend much time with my sister. Should I just take the things my mom gives me and be happy.

    Your mom probably thinks about her mortality, and wants to pass some things on. If you feel uncomfortable, tell her that you will hold on to the rings, but if at any point in the future, she decides she wants to do something else with them, you will give them back. Don't worry about what your sister will think.

    You should take the rings. This is a way your mom tells you that she respects you, loves you. She only wants you to have something that belongs to her.

    Your sister doesn't like you, and she doesn't help?! Than she doesn't deserve any respect from you. Just ignore her if she gets mad. And if she takes things too far, you and your brother can teach her a lesson for not being the daughter she is supposed to be!

    It sounds to me she really wants you to have the rings. Let me make a suggestion..Tell your Mom you would love the rings, but only after she tells the others she is giving them to you. after all Others will get things too. Your a mature grown woman. Do not let others make you feel like a child..

    Yes. Your mom should be able to do what she feels with her things before she dies. Its none of your sister's business. I have an older sister who is the same way.

    If your mum gave them to u, then she obviouslly wanted you to have them.

    Your mum probably doesnt want to give your sister things cos by the sounds of it she gets to much as it is, and is a selfish cow anyway.

    Anything your mum gives you, just put in a safe place, and when the time comes when you want to tell someone, try your brother he sounds decent enough.

    Good Luck with it all

  • Yes, take your moms rings..It is obviously her wishes for you to have them and not your sister..

    Spend as much time with her as you can too..

    Good luck..
