My 6 Siblings Refused to Take Care of Our Mother – I Was Never Her Favorite, So What I Said Next Shocked Everyone

“I wish I could help, Mom, but we’re barely keeping up with the mortgage.”

“If I miss more work, I’ll lose my job.”

“I wish I could help, Mom.”

Then Nancy gave a tight smile and quipped, “My place is too small for both of us.”

Lastly, Sam shrugged. “I can check in on her during weekends.”
