@Catcakes this thread is not exclusive, we are here to support one another.

Hi @Faith-and-Hope *waves

@Shaz51 would you like to tell us more about how you are feeling about mum?

oh it is not all the time @Former-Member

but my mum is very independent , strong , private person

we do her house, cleaning , gardening , mowing , shopping and making meals for her

and I ring her up a few nights a week as well , maybe it is as she is getting older and starting to feel lonely at times

but she seems to be dropping more hints about me not dropping in for a cuppa and little things she says just makes me feel guilty and then one moment she wants me to become her carer and then changes her mind

Yes @Former-Member Our Mums are similar

mine is losing her cooking ability and the aging body is taking its toll. , same here @Former-Member, that`s why I do a few meals for her

the other day she hurt herself in the garden , went to the hospital , got it fixed and blood pressure was high -- she did not tell me until I rang the next day

But I knew because someone from the hospital told me
