Hi I am tired ......of:
Having to constantly be aware and thinking of my MiL
Her not being able to find her chair ( which is right in front of her) so that I having just sat down I need to get up and show her.
Having to change her bedding most days as no matter what I do to protect it she still manages to get everything wet...or worse.
Wiping her backside!!
Cleaning the toilet at least twice a day if she goes in there and I don’t notice
The piles of washing she creates
Having to watch her at every meal or she will stop eating and get up
Watching her pick food out her teeth
No daycare centres being open
Her saying ‘sorry I didn’t know/realise when she has been told possibly hundreds of times before
Having to verbally direct her for everything
Her regularly taking her clothes off and me having to put them back on as she can’t
Being the bad guy all the time even though I do everything for her (my hubby and the carer are amazing apparently)
Having to watch her whilst out and about or she disappears
Not even being able to leave her in the car now even for ten minutes as she will get out and wander off.
Her constantly scratching her forehead
Her constantly saying okay, okay okay or yes, yes,
Things being picked up and moved
I am just TIRED ?
I know lots of people have it much worse than I do but having just cleaned up the bathroom once again as she put the lid down on the toilet and then sat and wee’d. Resulting in a change of clothes, floor washing and toilet cleaning I just needed to write this.
I am aware there is no solution and she can’t help it and I am happy to carry on it just gets a bit much sometimes doesn’t it.
