How has it been for you? Their place is a small house and she doesn't have any place of her own to get away from it all. She should have moved in with us. We have a spare bedroom and a finished basement that we could have made into an area just for her.

A pain in the ass, lol. She's half senile, argumentative, lives to talk and only considers me an adult when she needs something or is confused; otherwise I'm a little child and she's the Mom

lol so treating you like a kid never gets better?

It's probably best that she doesn't live with me. She was always critical of me and my brother while my sister could do no wrong... and my sister was a complete fuck up when she was a teenager.

It was better for many years, before she got dementia/senility. She's clear as a bell on memories when she was young and when I was a kid; very fuzzy on stuff the last 20-30 yrs. There is a very odd dichotomy; I'm an adult when she has some problem or need; otherwise I'm a small child who must be supervised or else who knows the trouble I'll cause lol

That's a really good question. She was always mom's favourite and they're getting along well now but who knows. Your family is probably very similar. Once one parent passes one of the kids has to take the other parent in.

My sister got "stuck" taking her mother in law in about 5-6 years ago, and she absolutely drives my sister, and the whole family, insane. I think my sisters drinking has increased considerably, and the MIL might outlive her....lol. Plus my sis has a severely autistic adult son at home, and he always will be, so that poor gal deserves to drink!! Plus she works full time.

Thats sounds like my family...I have 2 younger sisters, and there's a few years in between each of us. The youngest we nicknamed "the brat"...She was moms obvious favorite, and she truly was a spoiled brat....but her dad, my step dad, died when she was young so that's probably why!

She's 40 and still is a brat!

I'm the youngest by a lot, I'm supposed to be the favourite by default lol. They both moved away to go to school and only visited my parents a couple times a year... less for my brother. When covid started I was the one who did all their shopping and errands and stood out in the freezing cold visiting them through the glass door. Neither of them came even once, that still pisses me off.

I was my dad's favourite tho, he told me that all the time.

:( She probably sees you as a thirty something kid. Good on you for taking care of her.

No, she sees(in her dementia phase) me as a 13-14 yr old. Thats when I was a serious monster pain in the ass; Dad was very strict and controlling but he was an airline pilot so he was gone alot, when he was gone I was free, very curious and extremely impulsive.
