I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
Eating the proper food is crucial. Sounds like your daughter has to monitor what she eats all the time.
My daughter misses her favorite foods but knows that it isn’t worth endangering her health and the suffering afterwards.
I'm like you, I chose not to spend my precious time with negative and complaining people. Life is way too short.
I hope he goes home soon(like tomorrow.)
That must be horribly annoying to have your stepson monitoring your every move.
Was he always like this or is it because he’s not feeling well due to recovering from surgery? Is he in pain?
You have enough on your plate caring for your husband without dealing with his son. Do you have any outside help so you can take a break for awhile?
Me: Mom what happened?
Mom: I never had to do this before. I didn't know what to do so I improvised.
Me: 😶
I already have a call in to new podiatrist.
Six confirmations! Geez, something is wrong there. All that paperwork is a drag. Good thing you are looking for a different podiatrist. I hope you find one who is better organized. So you can literally vote with your feet!
I was so annoyed by the questionnaires that I would ask LOUDLY to my parents, both were hard of hearing, questions I didn't know. Just out of spite, I asked Mom [90+] if she was currently pregnant :P I am sure the others in the waiting room got a chuckle out of that.
Then I found a solution to all these chipboard multi-page questionnaires. I would just make a diagonal line across the page and write in big letters SAME AS LAST TIME on each sheet.
He says "oh, I stopped taking that". (!%$#@/??????).
Why? Well, it seems he didn't recall why he was taking it and just decided to stop it.
It's been a long day of polite discussions and silence. This is not going well.
He said he would contact his/our doc to discuss but I sent the doc an email to make sure.
I just tested to see if you still have the Whoops tech error cat, and yes, you do.
Strange things happened tonight with my posting, so I logged off, turned off my computer, and logged back in.
That is a serious diagnosis, hard to take. Just when you may think the dH is getting better, the behaviors change, again. It may not be the same for you, but I hear you!
Regroup your thinking after a good night's sleep, take a day to care for you.
Hugs every morning can keep the two of you on a friendly basis during the harder days, imo. You can try it.
My dH is doing exercise videos live from Silver Sneakers.
Just yesterday, his b/p is creeping back up. Not really abnormal, but higher.
I know if he reports to his doctor, she will increase his meds to one full tablet daily, he is only taking 1/2. I prefer he decreases his stress, maybe stop talking to his Mom for awhile---very stressful!
You will take care, and please be encouraged still, there is hope. imo.
He will have new neuropsych testing this summer; we will see if IQ and skills are stable or what.
His intelligence hasn't changed. His judgment has. That's the hard thing.
Thing is, I usually have more ability to deal with this. Since Middle Daughter is off in LaLa land with online ex-con boyfriend...I haven't enough brain cells to deal with all of this. Thank you for listening.
It is as people say, you've got a plate full.
Things can be going just okay, and add a con for a bf for DD, or in my case, an estranged Mil who fell, and any routine or stability gets put on hold.
We are almost blowing up around here today.
It is disconcerting at the least, I think. If I could think straight.
How are you sleeping?
Do you think your dH is ready for med reminders?
What an ordeal you have on your hands. I certainly hope that this will not become more difficult than it already is.
I’m so sorry that this is happening in your life.
Many, many hugs!
She claims to her Dad it is just a pretend thing, that's she's not married to this fellow, to get "likes" on social media and to make money that way. My main head scratcher is what 50 year old man would be going along with this silliness?
I am so sorry things are going so bad for you right now. I am having a hard time with bad things happening to good people here. Thinking of you. Hoping things will get better. As to daughter, really, try to back out, because you can do nothing about this, and your fighting it makes her go more into her own corner of the ring and fight, instead of considering her own actions. If this is the one with the 6 year old child it is truly concerning, and I hope her husband will get custody so no one has to worry about that child OR that the guy in jail STAYS in jail.
Incredibly slow!
