At least your mom is starting to open up to the idea or suggestion. Mine is worse. My mom is totally adamant I take care of her after my dad is gone. She said only my siblings don't need to. I told her I have no grown up kids to care for her, no money sufficient to pay for a full time helper at home, and I still have to work. So she's playing the game that it is okay she will stay home though she may fall down or anything... And then my relatives point the finger to me for being a bastard daughter. That's how it goes.
