My mom is so poor, she is also getting really old and still has to work and it's so sad to see but I it's so completely her fault I don't know what to do.
She had to pull out $600 plus fees from her retirement account in order to make a payment and buy a car battery that she's known she needed for 6 months but it finally crapped out for good and left her stranded at 7-11. She couldn't save $200 for a battery over 6 months but she buys weed every week, so she sabotages her only savings.
Then the other day she comes home and he went to an estate sale and paid $30 for some decorative bowls with spray paint on them and a DVD player... the only DVDs she owns are from like 20 years ago and she has three different streaming subscriptions already. Anyways, the DVD player doesn't even have HDMI so she can't plug it in to anything because her TV doesnt have the old hookups, the one with the yellow cable... so it's useless.
The bowls are currently in the trash because they have spraypaint on them and the DVD player has been sitting on a chair collecting dust for over a week now, right next to where she watches netflix. I can't get out of my head how happy she was when she brought this crap home because she only paid $30 for it.
Her dogs are also pissing and shitting on the floor and I tell her that they need to go out every 4 hours because they are small dogs. She just lies and says she let them out but she has been sleeping on the couch for the past 6 hours straight. She will wake up with piss and shit on the floor and then yell at the dogs and blame them for it.
She gets extremely angry when I point out any of these things to her. Am I just supposed to not care at all like her?
