My husband and I live in London. My parents live in India and are visiting us here.
My mother do a lot of things as a normal person can but their are a few things which really worry us. (She has worked all her life and is retired now . Age - 64-65)
1. She loves to talk about people from her office and some neighbours and relatives. She loves to talk about - where they live, who their relatives and then she just goes on and on about them. At times she starts the conversation by asking a random name like ..Who is XYZ person? If we say we don't know or we tell the details.. she will give all the details again. This happens all the time on dinner table, if we go for a walk orif we all are sitting and trying to have a conversation.
2. She gets quite excited with the idea of going for a walk but wants to return as soon as we reach the destination. this includes ever her places of interest.
3. She doesn't forget things as such but discusses them only at her convenience, otherwise just ignore us if we try to strike a conversation eg . we took her to the Beach/ Greenwich/ Central London , but when we asked her the next day she did not say anything about it. After few days she saw beach on the TV them did mentioned that this is the same place we went the other day.
4.She has no interest in reading newspaper/ books/ watching TV or news or movies.
We have tried to put on thing of her interest on TV as well but within a minute she starts talking about people and where they live.
Can Someone please advise how can we help to be a bit relaxed when not at home.
Regards,
