I am always be there in breakfast and dinner with my parents, this will make refresh and release from tensions by discussing with each other, and took them to tours every week, and this make them happy.. :)
started today...im thinking im going to clean the house up while she is gone... so therfore... i did care today :)
I feel like I am falling down on this one - I need to be more cheerful about my caretaking. I don't want mom to feel like a burden
I'm taking care of my father-in-law. I don't have it too bad yet (he's still living in his home with a lot of assistance - I'm there nearly every day), but I know it's a down-hill slope from here and hoping to get some good ideas from others!
over the weekend I am going to go over some things that mom might enjoy doing. Cards, visiting, etc.
Does your mom try things you suggest? I can't get my father-in-law to try any suggestions!
My mom has lived with me for over five years. She had a stroke early in December - but she is home now and doing well with home care. Yesterday I got her all bathed and her hair done and got all her medications and menus (for during the day when I am gone) together for the week.
I have been taking care of my mom for 15 years. Taking her to her Dr. appointments, doing her finances, taking her shopping and everything else. I have been doubly challenged with the demands of my own family, husband and two kids. This is not a job for the faint of heart but the rewards are priceless.
great!
mine are getting older and I find it hard to find the best places they may want to stay when they get older.
