Hello,
I care for my father-in-law who lives on his own , but near to me, in the last week he has developed this new problem. He has always drunk a lot of tea, but is now putting five tea bags in a mug every time he makes himself a cup of tea, so going though huge amounts of teabags.
He has a hot meal prepared each day by myself, so I see him for a hour or so daily, but don't know how to kerb this habit, as he is now phoning me at 6.00am to tell me he has no teabags.
I intend to put up a notice on the kitchen cupboard 'ONE TEA BAG FOR A CUP OF TEA' and possibly restricting the amount of teabags per day, so he will have to drink some coffee.
As I cannot spend all day monitoring him.
Any ideas welcome,
Thanks Kat
