apropos of nothing, but getting your mother off your bank account gets more difficult as you get older. I'm 48 and my mother's on my bank account. She certainly doesn't rememeber and she's never checked it (I trust her implictly on this), but it's the same account she cosigned for me as a teenager. By the time I got around to wanting her off of it as a young adult, 9/11 had come and gone, and various banking regulations had been put in place to make it so the only way to get a cosigner off the account was to close it and open a new one. And, well, direct deposits exist, and autopays, and it's never been worth it to go through all the paperwork.
If my mother logged in to check my transactions, though, I'd close the account in a new york minute. LW's daughter does need to jump through all the hoops.
