If you are caring for somone still at home, what are some tips to make it as stress free as possible
If we didn't mention to Mum it was Christmas nor if she saw all the advertising on TV, she would not even know its Christmas.
I just wish I could prevent all the letterbox advertising and christmas cards that get mailed to her.
Anything out if the norm, Birthdays, Easter, public holidays, Christmas throws her into a tailspin.
Last year was the first Christmas I have sent cards to all the family signed on behalf of Mum & Dad, and I got a few phone calls to ask why! and a couple of distant family members that I forgot about entirely
This always used to be Mums domain, but she can no longer write them let alone get all the addresses correct.
Getting Dad to write them, would cause an uproar. Mum accepts things more if I do them on her behalf but not Dad
Christmas dinner I have not even thought about, but my sister was wanting to go out somewhere, which I don't think is a good idea with Mum.
Christmas is so different now......
