When I went into his room this morning he glared at me and said he was fed up.
With what? I asked.
'Everything. This bed, my room, my chair, everything.'
His bed is uncomfortable! He hates the chair we spent a fortune on two years ago! There isn't enough space in the living room and we should get rid of some furniture. (We live in a small cottage and the lounge has a 2 seat sofa, a small bucket chair and his special chair for a tall man) He's fed up with the pole by his chair - I reminded him it's a small standard lamp. He says he doesn't need it - I tell him he's got it on all the time so he can see to read. He's bored with nothing to do, while I'm always visiting friends and talking to people! Chance would be a fine thing. And so it went on for a good 1/4 hour. I stopped answering, which was wrong as well.
The advice is not to argue, but how can one just stand there and take it? Is one supposed just to say 'Yes, dear' and walk away? His memory is ****, but if I agreed for the sake of P&Q you can bet that's the one thing he'd remember.
Sorry to rant on, but I could scream at the thought that things are only going to get worse.
