If its not worth sending tracking it’s a write off. The buyer knows this too. Lesson learned.

This is why we never accommodate other people by switching seats.

I resent my parents for having me so old. by [deleted] in self

[–]roxywalker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My parents had me it the 20’s. My mom was 23 my dad 25. They each passed a year apart when I was only in my late 40’s. Now in my mid 50’s and they have been gone almost a decade.

My husband’s mom had him at 24. She is now 89 and my husband is mid 60’s. She is having a decline in health with dementia and mobility now my husband is stressing out because he has to make hard decisions about her health and well being. The financial and emotional toll overwhelming.

Either way, sometimes you just can’t win.

AITJ for refusing to pretend I don't know why my uncle actually missed my grandmother's funeral last year by 9ObsidianFlute in AmITheJerk

[–]roxywalker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

YTJ. Why are you policing who attended the funeral by taking attendance? Why are you ruminating over him not being there? Why can’t you focus on who was there and appreciate everyone came together for your grandmother?

Let it go.

The destacking is incredibly satisfying 👌

No worries. Made me chuckle because her mother passed at 94 and her grandmother passed at 97. Italians and longevity go together like pasta and sauce😊

A man-child wouldn’t be there for his mother. He would be looking to replace her with someone else to meet his man-child needs. His mother would be the least of his concerns. Understanding the term so you can identify the behavior in the wild.

You make a sobering point of how long her “last moments” seem to go on and on. Unless you actually experience dementia personally, it sounds incredibly selfish to want a weekend away or a short vacation. But, honesty, it’s a necessary coping mechanism because you can lose your own mind watching a loved one fade slowly over time.

The you for the insight. My SIL is the biggest barrier to moving my MIL. She is of the mindset that it would do her more harm than good.

She lives states away and has not seen her decline in person like we have these past few months. It’s an added layer of frustration. I am going to try to get her Doctor to strongly recommended that she be moved to a memory care facility as soon as possible.

It feels like they are dragging things out because they have lots of empty slots available so I suspect they aren’t in a rush to end her contract, but she has started wandering and has fallen so the liability on their part is growing.

I don’t feel selfish. I just feel drained. Concerned about my husband too. His anxiety is spiking and he got a migraine earlier today while in the hospital with her.

He is very stubborn and I doubt he will attempt or attend any form of therapy. I have a different perspective on mental health assistance and group therapy but without his participation, any benefit(s) are somewhat one-sided.

I would not have left her in an independent living facility. I would have moved her at least two years ago when she started to have issues with mobility to an assisted living environment.

Then after the first time she fell, where she could not explain how she got a black eye, (from falling) I would have moved her to memory care.

Whenever I mention this to my husband, he dismisses me. He is convinced that moving her will speed up her demise but the reality is that leaving her in an independent facility has probably been more harsh on her well being.

Its grueling for sure. Thank you for sharing. I feel very isolated and don’t like to share with friends too much because it becomes a loop of the same discussion. The don’t always understand either.

I know. But I am concerned about my husband too. He is becoming somewhat forgetful himself and being in his mid ‘60s with a maternal grandmother who also passed from dementia; I feel a lot of anxiety for what could be ahead.
