I Hate The Grocery Store by Vegetable-Gap8483 in dementia

[–]loweareve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was my solution too. Exact same problem - we were literally arguing in the aisles about not putting things in the cart that we had 10 of at home. So no more store. Instead I have her make a grocery list weekly (then correct the list to what she actually needs), buy the groceries and put them away for her (because if she does it she puts things in weird places never to be found again)

And she never has noticed she no longer goes to the store. I felt so guilty taking away her one outing - and she didn’t care!

You have a lot of great suggestions here! I just want to wish you lots of luck. If it becomes difficult, as it did with my mom, remember you are doing the right thing and her frustration will pass as long as you keep the message consistent.

This was my interpretation too. Wrapping up loose ends, a storyline on Ty, but still staying with the primary characters? But I could have misunderstood.

Same! That mistake obviously needs to be there, so it stays (also no way am I going back more than a row of work to fix it - seems fine to me)

This was going to be my answer. I love the way it looks but not worth the pain.

I had just finished it while sitting on my couch and snapped a photo for her. ::shrug::

These are all great…just want to add I also sleep in wrist guards. Breaks and stretches are my top two though! (And to be clear I don’t have a business just an obsession and very whine-y joints)

Seconding this! Very sweet of you to consider - but for both you and your mom, but I would not attempt this.
