Re: not coping

Yeah ill be alright @Anastasia
His dementia just frustrates me sometimes.
I said just before i left for the movies 'pop, im going to the movies ill be back at 630. I will do dinner when i get back'
By the time i got back what i had prepared for dinner was either thrown in the bin or he had eaten it. It took me so long to work out that meal because of the requirements of my diet so i was upset and said i wish you would actually listen to what i say. And he said its not a big deal just have a tin of spaghetti out of the cupboard. I said i cant im allergic (cant say intolerant cause he doesnt get it) so at least he hashad dinner.

Earlier today even though the milk is actually labelled as 'outlanders milk' and 'pops milk, outlander cant have this one' he made a tea filled with his milk. It just frustrating.

Re: not coping

Im sorry its so petty to complain about

Re: not coping

It is not petty sis @outlander

It must be hard to try and deal with all of the time.

You have enough to deal with, with trying to cope with your pop, and then your issues on top of it.

I hope you found something to have for tea hun.
