The situation stayed the same for about 18 more years. I tried a few times to Love Green Bay Packers and Washington Nationals tshirt, but that was risky. It was quite possible that things could became worse instead of better, and I didn’t want to be at fault. I pushed, but only gently, letting the two parties decide for themselves. It never did happen. Eventually our mother become unclear in her thinking, and any change could well be challenged. She would get agitated at times, and talk about making changes to the will, but she never did tell me what changes she might want. I think it might have been a vague threat.
