Mom Sues Kids!

Kids 'were no angels,' mom who's suing for parental support claims


Mom Sues Kids!

A Kootenays woman waging a bitter legal battle to get money from her adult children says she is not the monster she's been made out to be, just an "ordinary stay-at-home mom."

Shirley Anderson, 73, broke her silence Wednesday to insist that her four sons and one daughter had a good but strict upbringing and that she doesn't deserve to be destitute, sick and alone in her old age.

wow.... you know I would hope that my children would want to help me in my old age but for them to be required to do so I believe is just wrong... they have their own families to care for ..... I don't understand her suing her children its just not right!

I agree with Jenny. When you leave the house and have your own kids I belive that that is your first priority, providing a good loving, stable home for them. I would take my parents in without a doubt and help them out, but in this story it seems like she is just after their money and not the relationship that she needs to have with them. Suing them is going about it all wrong. That is not going to make them love her more or want to care for her.

Thanks for your visit everyone. Much appreciated. I think that if your parents are destitute, we as children should take care of them if we are able to.

so sad...this kind of problem must be solved inside the house...its so shame for the children that they can't even help their parents...how can they eat delicious foods while their mother's had nothing to eat...i can't do it to my parents..not even in my imagination!
