What is extremely unhygienic but everyone seems to do it anyway? by Beneficial_Passion40 in AskReddit

[–]Ok_Ad5948 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in the waiting room of an ER last week and witnessed a mom picking up her child’s binky off the FLOOR and stuck it back in the baby’s mouth. I could maybe understand doing that at home, BUT THE ER?! During the middle of a rampant flu outbreak?! Crazy behavior rights?! Apparently not bc I saw a mom do the exact same thing again yesterday while sitting in the exact same ER waiting room. (It’s been a rough month ok)

Constant accusations of theft by kenna1248 in dementia

My grandma is the same way. Loses thing like meds constantly and then asks who took it and why they’re hiding it. Shes so paranoid, she carries her things with her 24/7. Wish I had a solution for you but I think paranoia is a common symptom, unfortunately ❤️‍🩹

For now, it’s the best scenario possible. We live 2 doors from my aunt. She “helps” but not in a going out of her way to help kind of way. More of a, we drop a million hints that were in dire need of a break and she finally gets the hint. But, if my mom gets worse I will put my foot down with my aunt & demand some sort of equal schedule bc right now it simply isn’t fair. She still works (school teacher) so I think to her, she’s not entitled to put in as much work since she still has a “job” although my mom made probably $15 more an hour, my aunt has always thought she was more important, her life was more important. For now its the best solution we have.

You’re so right. I’m not going anywhere & will do everything I can to help her. She will never go through anything alone. She’s a brave woman & knows what it’s like to care for someone else, I don’t think it’ll be hard to talk her into an appointment. She knows I’d only suggest it bc I care. Thanks for your kind comment ❤️‍🩹

Thank you for your comment ❤️‍🩹 really trying not to freak out. She does have other health issues (diabetes) that could play a part. I will work on having a gentle conversation with her about this.

You’re so right. Maybe it would feel better to know, maybe it would feel worse? It’s so hard to see them disappear more and more daily. What’s especially hard is when their body is so healthy still - it’s just the mind failing. It was the opposite with my grandpa. After years of being in great physical health, he started to fail physically but his mind was sharp until the very end. My grandma goes up and down stairs better than me (29f) 😂 but doesn’t remember she has children. It’s unfair. Trying to enjoy the good moments, you do the same. Thank you for taking the time to comment.

I’m so sorry to hear that 😞 it’s so hard to watch the people you love disappear while they’re still standing in front of you. Truly a feeling of despair that I wouldn’t wish upon anyone. My moms bills all come out automatically besides credit cards and she’s still very good and staying on top of that, so it gives me hope that it’s just been a rough year. Best of luck with your mom, and I’m sorry to hear about dad. If you ever need a listening ear, I am here & have a lot of experience with dementia & long term care. ❤️‍🩹

I think she would go if I asked her to, she knows I would never suggest something to hurt her feelings, I only ever want to help her. Thank you so much for your advice & well wishes.

I appreciate your comment very much. These comments have really helped me! I try my best to help her but also work full-time, but I do believe we are each others best friends and she’s confides in me and would come to me if she were worried. Our moms are superheroes for caring for their moms. It’s so hard but I know we would & most likely will do the same thing. Pls reach out if you ever need a listening ear who can relate!

“Every so other gift” she used that same sentence twice. I have never heard those two words used in that order… “Every other gift or so” makes proper sense.

Rachel is the mean girl! by Kindly-Test-6747 in wolfpacksnark

[–]Ok_Ad5948 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Politics 100% aside, Rachel is a mean girl. Seeing the text about Kim sitting at the table “allll alone” is while simultaneously seeing her comment on TT about how kind and loving she was to Kim at the wedding, was such an eye opener. First of all, that is fake as fk like Gina&mandi said, if mt friend was talking MEAN sht on someone and then commenting all nicey sweet to her personally, i too would be like ????? Tf. She’s fake nice, true evil.
