A few years ago, when MIL was moving into sheltered accomodation, she added my name onto her bank account so that I could deal with all the financial side for her as she gets confused with what is what. DFIL used to deal with it all before he died.
She was in hospital for nearly all of December and in that time I paid all her bills, lotteries, and paying for her tv service in hospital, all out of her bank/using her card.
She has received her bamk statement and summoned me down to discuss it as there are a few transactions she doesn't recognise. She may as well have said "what have you been spending my money on"
It's every time she gets a bank statement, it's getting very tedious. I write down everything I spend/pay in a notebook for her, right down to the pennies from her shopping, so if she wants to question something, she could easily look on there.
It hurts a bit that she would even think that I'd steal from her. Quite tempted to tell her she can do her own finances, but I know she would struggle.
