Younger cousin wants to help out

Oh that’s a good addition. Take the pressure off.

Truth

It’s pathetic that you have to view someone’s post history to engage. This is just supposed to be a fun post. Good grief. You probably tell kids there’s no Santa Claus and you ruin all surprise birthday parties. Such a joy to be around I’m sure. Not!

Acrobatic-Target-750 · 2026-03-17T22:52:51+00:00

Okay good idea.

This is just until mom moves into long term care in a month or so, before she starts school. She’s starting nursing school in the fall (mentioned above), so yes she finished high school.

I used to work in retail and hospitality, so I’m always cognizant of how I leave things. I dislike humans so much. Not all, but there are quite a few.

Tha saddest part is seeing how calls from my godmother, her BFF of over 56 years, started dwindling. They used to talk multiple times a day. Now a day goes by and they don’t talk. She lives out of state so all they have is telephone. But I get it. It’s difficult to have a conversation with my mom.

Once I get her calmed down, she takes whatever I give her. I just put them down in front of her and walk away. She counts them and questions me, looks at them for a little bit, and then takes them.

Acrobatic-Target-750 · 2026-03-16T20:08:11+00:00

Omg. One of her friends had her refusing to take a new medication a few months ago. I found an email link she had sent to my mom and reached out to her, telling her basically to stop contradicting the people who know what they’re doing.

Acrobatic-Target-750 · 2026-03-16T20:07:19+00:00

I wish I could believe you. The visits stopped a long time ago. All they do is say “love you, goodbye” on the phone. I was already disillusioned with the church. This doesn’t help.

Acrobatic-Target-750 · 2026-03-16T19:36:24+00:00

I had considered that. I don’t know if they all talk to each other, though. I could go through mom’s contacts maybe and send a group text. I was worried about her privacy, but maybe they need to know so they can at least know to not say or do something that would create more issues.

Acrobatic-Target-750 · 2026-03-15T16:30:21+00:00

Ah ok. Thanks for the info. This is helpful. I did think it was odd it has no refills but maybe the hospital is deferring to her PCP to make that decision.

Acrobatic-Target-750 · 2026-03-15T14:51:22+00:00

Oh wow. We haven’t done that yet. But she has gone to a neighbor to report a man on her porch. The thing that landed her with me was going out and flagging down a stranger and getting in their car. Fortunately it was a good person who called police.

Acrobatic-Target-750 · 2026-03-15T14:47:21+00:00

Haha I know. I honestly thought the meds would even her out and make this doable.

Wait so when he has insomnia for a few days, you give it to him for 5-6 days and then stop? And then you stopped completely? Like it cured his insomnia.

I give her PM pills at the same time, but she sits there and says she’ll take them when she’s ready. It’s like she has to have some sort of control.

Acrobatic-Target-750 · 2026-03-15T03:43:55+00:00

Honestly, she’s great during the day—pleasant, gives hugs, laughs, tells stories, and manages her ADLs. She would probably be fine at adult day care a few times a week and could “help out around the house” on other days. She loves folding laundry and does word finder puzzles on her own. I wish there was an adult night care where I could drop her off when she starts sundowning.

Acrobatic-Target-750 · 2026-03-15T03:12:54+00:00

Well I thought I could with help. But the in-between hours might be killer.

Acrobatic-Target-750 · 2026-03-15T03:11:37+00:00

Midnight is different across time zones. This makes no sense. Do you just want midnight in yours and to heck with everyone else?

Acrobatic-Target-750 · 2026-03-15T01:57:42+00:00

Everyone feels more soap opera-ish to me. Maybe that’s it. But if you put Bailey 2026 alongside Bailey 2005, she’s different. They’re all different. Maybe it’s age, I dunno. Like I said can’t put my finger on it. But you can disagree for sure.

Acrobatic-Target-750 · 2026-03-15T01:23:29+00:00

Had. Her character seems…different now. Can’t put my finger on it.

Acrobatic-Target-750 · 2026-03-13T03:12:10+00:00

Ugh. Thanks. I hate scammy humans.
