My mom.

And dad. You all know about dear old dad and how we don't get along.

Well - mom is driving me up the wall. I should have more patience. She's got vascular dementia. It's making her mean and petty and even more parsimonious than ever. My sister says these types of illnesses bring the person down to their core personality.

At any rate - they're both curmudgeons of the first order, rubbing their two pennies together for warmth when they've got a pile of cash to burn.

I don't get it. If i lived beyond expectancy, I'd be blowing my money on anything that I felt like doing. They act like they're the Little Match Girl about to freeze in the snow. I just don't get IT.
