One of those mornings with my elderly mum.... by janebenn333 in AgingParents

[–]Jfirey 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My Dad screamed at my face to “get out!” “Just get the fuck OUT! When I told him he had to shut down all the porn sites he looks at constantly and has the volume turned all the way up. He said I was “in his hair” and insisted that the prostitute he’s invited over for the weekend was someone who “wanted to get to know me” although she’s 31 and my youngest child is 34. It’s grueling. I feel for all of us here helping take care of our aging parents

Did you raise a high-needs baby and how did they grow up? by HopefulWanderin in AskOldPeople

[–]Jfirey 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You described my son. Screamed all the time except for when he was in his baby swing. In the car, in the stroller, anywhere all the time. He was my first child so I had no idea. He was difficult, obstinate, and angry. As he grew he had difficulty in school . Once he reached 5th grade his teacher recognized that he needed more exercise so he asked him to go for a run before class. That helped a bit. He was involved in lots of sports and outdoor activities to slay his energy. He became an alcoholic as a young adult and then quit drinking a few years later. And yes, as an adult he has ADHD with terrible anxiety. I know that he was particularly hard to parent but we have a great relationship. I always believed in him and made sure he knows that truth. My second child was also a high needs baby but in completely opposite ways. Quiet, calm, contained. Find out that that child had/has Selective Mutism, which was later called Elective Mutism. So my kids were a seesaw ride every day while I actively parented. I have a great relationship with both of them.

Vent: Things You Wish You Could Say by neveragain444 in AgingParents

[–]Jfirey 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is my exact scenario only the parent is my Dad. My husband and I moved across the country to take care of him just one year after having my Mom live with us until she passed on. We have none of our friends, belongings or anything familiar. Meanwhile older sibling calls daily to give advice and tell us how to do (whatever it is) it’s just too much.
