Hi
Mum is getting quite a bit worse now, although she still likes to go out on her own and maintain a little independence.
Problem is that Dad gives her money to go out. Each day it is all gone and she has nothing to show for it and can't remember what she's done with it. Dad has given her £15 every day this week and, frankly, can't afford to keep doing this.
He has found the odd top that she's bought (in a size 16 or 18.....the last size she remembers being), unfortunately it's been a long time since she was that size and is now a 22!!!
Dad thinks to give her any less would be tight on his part (in case she wants to buy something), however her concept of money is gone.
I think he should give her less (so that if she's wasting/losing it or whatever), it won't be so bad.
Has anyone got any experience of this type of thing?
Thanks
Mandy
