decorum
Been quite nice the past few days, being able to do what we want! 😀
Sister was intending/trying to cancel the entirety of Aged Parent's stay ... but he's been there since Saturday.
Despite being told to not encourage his lazyness she's been taking him breakfast in bed. And, apparently, it's 'something he could get used to ...'. Yeah, NO!!! 🤣
Hugs and thoughts of comfort and joy to all of you.

Because she knows it's short lived! It's like buying your friend's child a drum for Xmas - you know you're not going to be the one that has to listen to them banging it. I hope he decides he prefers it and stays a bit longer decorum.

In the spirit of Xmas, perhaps she's doing it because it seems like a nice thing to do.
Back in my normal mode of thinking, I agree with LMH above. She knows she's not going to suffer the consequences of it, so it's easy for her.
Whichever it is, hope he had a good time away, and it was a bit of a respite for you, D.
We have some issue with elderly relatives, but they (currently) pale into insignificance compared to some of what is posted on here. I wish all of you who are dealing with difficult and worrying situations all the best for the New Year. You can only try your best, and if sometimes you get frustrated, that's only being human.

Having been to feed the Aged Ps-in-law for Christmas Day, I realised I need to wind my neck in a bit about my MiL. She was so grateful to see us. I mean close-to-tears grateful. I can't blame her, living with my FiL. He'd be a full-time job for a professional carer and she's an infirm 86 year old trying to do it. When she lashes out it's because she's scared - terrified to be honest - and I think I (and the family in general) need to work around this.
