Big problem with seniors, don’t let them give any money to anybody, or your house will fill up & phone never stop ringing from beggers, industrial strength beggars.

So true. My late FIL was a very, kind and giving man, and they had his number. My mother got a lot of charity junk mail, as well, because she couldn’t say a “no” to some organizations.

I don’t understand why the daughter does not just get rid of the stuff. It is probably overwhelming for the old man.

It does overwhelm them, I have talk about this with other elder caregivers.

They become obsessed.

It's a sin.

They think they have to save the world.

But it's just pissin' on a forest fire.

Wasting what little time they have left to enjoy themselves.
