Yes indeed. Hubby has noticed MIL seems to have become very entitled, expecting things to be done and being very miffed if she doesn't get her own way. She's almost turned into a spoilt child at times.
Hubby sometimes has to remind her that she has to be nice to the care home staff...or they may start to resent her behaviour and not want to work with her if she's that much of a miserable sod.

I’m at my dad’s to clean/sort. He has very low water pressure so no hot water to wash up his mouldy mugs and plates, but that’s ok because he has a kettle. Except the kettle leaked as soon as I filled it and so that’s now in the rubbish bag. That’s ok, he has a microwave. Except he has no bowls or anything else in which to heat water. I’ve been reduced to the smallest saucepan on the hob.
Decided to hoover while the water heats up. The hoover is dead.
Ok then. Need to wait for C to get back from a lesson (he dropped me off on the way) and then we can go to the big Sainsbury’s nearby to buy a new kettle and hoover and some clean clothes that we can take to him in the hospital on our way home. This could be a long evening!

Mum is patchy. Sometimes she will acknowledge that it's cost me time and petrol and sometimes she won't. And if we are out, she expects me to do everything: order, get cutlery, go to the till, whatever.

FiL (and subsequently MiL) just reverted to being children and wanted everything laid on a plate for them. They both had carers who got them up and dressed and put them to bed.

I’d say my mum has zero appreciation for anyone
The nhs literally saved her life but she’s continually moaned about them, the staff, the processes everything
I most certainly didn’t do enough when I stayed there for 4.5 weeks last October/November. She’s only started speaking “normally” to me in the last couple of weeks prior to that she was very bitter

Yes, that's how it was before MIL moved into the house and we visited her in May last year.
Hubby was grousing as he was taking holiday from his stressful job, only to find her expecting him to be her carer, accountant, etc to make sure all the bills were paid up, as when she knew hubby was coming, she stopped opening her post/bills/etc, and he had to do it all!
Now she's in a home and the house is sold, there will be far less to worry about.

Does he have a social worker Paula? I can't imagine how soul destroying that must have been today.
