Throwing tea on floor

[TessB]

So today mum threw the rest of her tea on the floor. She was in bed at the time and I'd raised it to push the fall mat back underneath so the tea covered quite a large area. But why did she throw it? Don't think she's done it before.

How annoying for you @TessB I hope you managed to get it cleaned up ok. I’m not sure why this happens, I remember having to stop my mum from tipping her juice upside down - no idea why - I suspect it’s a lack of impulse control.

I did my best at cleaning it up. Fortunately the carpet is light beige. That sounds very possible. Thank you.

Hello,
Yesterday and today the food was on the carpet and slippers and chest of drawers and side table. Dishes were thrown on carpet. Food and drink were on clothes, on protective apron, on table, on falls mat, on slip cover, on falls mat cover. With tea and juice etc.

Bedclothes which were neatly made just two or three hours ago were thrown, destructively, to the bottom of the bed.

Today table was also thrown onto floor.

Alongside, hand holding, hugs and kisses, a lot of shouting.

Throwing tea on the floor was very mild then. What a pain for you to have to clear that lot up. Hope things calm down for you both.

Hello @TessB

Was your mum`s tea on an over the bed table? Had she finished eating and wanted it out of the way?

Like @Grannie G I thought it might be that it was a way of saying they don't want it. Is verbal communication poor? Was tea too hot,cold sweet or not sweet enough? As cognition is lost pwd become more childlike in ability. Young children and babies regularly throw food on the floor if they don't want it.

 

[TessB]

Mum didn't have any food, just the mug of tea. She often drinks only half of it, apparently thinking she can't/shouldn't drink the rest as sometimes she asks. Verbal communication is poor but I usually manage to understand what she is getting at. I wasn't in the room at the time.

Couple of days ago mum asked if she should throw the rest of her tea away. So I'm wondering if that's what she was doing when it went on the floor

Thought this had posted but apparently not. A couple of days ago mum asked if she should throw away the rest of her tea. I wonder if that was what she was doing when it went on the floor.

Could you try one of these perhaps? Cup

That's rather good, thank you. It would also save the spills when mum goes to sleep with a cup in her hand.

Sorry for double posting. Thought the first one hadn't gone
