I like your dog!Well I know I'm not one of thoes people
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 MomHow 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.
lol so treating you like a kid never gets better?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
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 lollol 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.
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.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.
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!lol so treating you like a kid never gets better?

All I can say is hang on to that sense of humor it will help best wishes to you and your familyIt was better for many years, before she got dementia/senility.

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.Thats sounds like my family...I have 2 younger sisters, and there's a few years in between each of us.

She's 40 and still is a brat!
She probably sees you as a thirty something kid. Good on you for taking care of her.It was better for many years, before she got dementia/senility.

That's harsh, she needs an inlaw suite.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.

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.She probably sees you as a thirty something kid.

Does she join you for meals and stuff like that?No, she sees(in her dementia phase) me as a 13-14 yr old.

Sometimes, usually by my invite when I make something big. Say maybe once a week. Like I said she lives to talk, and I don't, and when she's going at it we always end up in her hometown and hearing stories of her childhood that I've already heard a zillion times all my life.Does she join you for meals and stuff like that?

I imagine the jump in her weed quality will come as a bit of a jolt.Kinda yeah. Mom moved here 7 yrs ago; I put up a mobile home for her. My sis lives in HA so I got mom when she got too old to fend for herself, she's 93 now.
OMG, I just did a coupe of dabs, got the wicked munchies with a craving for a tuna sandwich, and it was like filet mignon!
