I definitely don't mean to make my sisters sound like awful people but they have lives and kids and just... don't make time for mom or me socially. I wish they would visit because mom was saying she feels like she has no family left besides me earlier yesterday. She is so socially isolated that I worry about how that effects her. I want to see about getting her to more crochet/craft groups locally and see if she can make more friends with similar interests as her. Like for me I get my social time chatting online. Mom is borderline computer illiterate so while she is on FB an in crochet groups there it's hard for her to make online friends. So once again we hit the isolated side of her social life. Besides the hoarding that is my number one concern for her.

I'll definitely take your suggestions into thought but I dunno what I can really do to try and get my sisters more active in mom's life.

IN OTHER NEWS

Mom and I spent the last 2 hours discussing ways to redo the furniture in the house after watching a video on youtube. Basically it was a tour of a crafter youtuber's house and she used her dining and living rooms as her craft room, and had a bedroom serve as her tv/living room. Our house is basically one big living room, three bedrooms a bath room and kitchen. Mom got super inspired and wants to do something similar. I'm all for it because it would help force mom to go through stuff in the house and hopefully clear some space up. We also discussed rearranging her bedroom and de-cluttering it a bit too. Right now my fat butt can barely get into her room the way it is cuz the door hits stuff and won't open wide. AAAANY way it's been an interesting night.
