Ever just want to tear your hair out, or someone else's? If you cannot restore a sense of balance, you will run away from home? Just want to say some things without the constraints of staying on topic? Well, this thread is for you! If you just need a short break to let it all hang out, be a brat, then come on, you can do it. No holding back! Go for it, you can do it.
She has always been one to say close the door just before you close it . I I say the sky was blue shed say red. At this time she was reveling in the fact that I had to come to her and actuallt plea for a place to live. So any chance she got there was an order to do something even if to wipe a drop of water off the table. I was often bombarded with a nasty tirade if the wind blew a door open about leaving her doors open. So much that I would explode in the mist of a tirade and then it would quite but was always walking on glass and I felt crazy. Welll anyways one evening I was going out and the backdoor was open. Id gotten so crazy from all this chaos that I thought I left it open. So I said to my self youd better close that door or you will never hear the end of it. So I did. When I came back she was like you locked me in back yard, my sister had to let her in when she came home. I was like here she go lying again! So I went and asked my sister and she nastily said yeah like who are you kidding. Of course between the two of them I had done it on purpose and of course I was condemned and punished. But in the mist of it all the Brat in me was tickeled to death. I would never have gone threw with a thought of locking anyone out. but she had made me so crazy I thought the I'd left the door open. So I was like hey is that Karma or what. Lol. I almost lmao But then I was sad at how crazy the ugliness had made me and how much confusion it brings when you constantly have to question self.
But getting away to almost anywhere sounds like a trip to paradise.
Didn't we caregivers take a fantasy trip by RV last year to Vegas?
Speaking of brat stories, my F I L is a real braggart, blowhard, know it all. He is a doctor and is the best doctor in the world according to himself. Whenever he starts in on one of his long, nauseating stories about how he saved someone's life I always get up and walk out right in the middle. He actually stops talking and watches me walk out of the room. His wife says "Are we boring you" Once I said "yeah, actually you are and by the way, God decides who lives or dies, not you" and walked out.
Pass the pizza, please.
I had a bad fall last night & injured my ribs. In so much pain! I feel like such a brat, though... My Ma usually won't eat unless I cook for her, but I rested today & she did just fine. She actually fixed her own meals! All I had to do was give her meds!

Last night I'm trying everything to calm her done until the seroquel kicks so I'm rubbing her shoulders and talking to her but she's convinced I hate her and have stolen her money and blah blah blah finally I ask her I she had a happy nap in the afternoon and she says no she had a grumpy nap - I reply, well then it worked 😜
You may be in my time zone, but you probably were not awake at 4:00 a.m.? Going to sleep soon, when, I don't know. Time stamp on AC is messed up too.
Isn't that a coincidence?
Maybe Gershun, who is co-creator and hostess of this thread, (or is that co-conspirator?) can affirm your membership here. Whaddya think, Gershun?
Is the Duck a brat, or what?

Just reading over the comments on here gives me a chuckle, and knowing that all this time there were other brats out there too, just needing a little encouragement to act out. You are all so good! Or is that bad?
Well once again the lab didn't pick up the urine sample taken yesterday at memory care so day 3 and no results and her agitation and peeing are worse
My mom noticed a tattoo on the arm of her caregiver of her daughter's name so I ask my mom if she wants to tattoo my name on her arm and surprisingly she says yes only later when there aren't so many people around - Sunday's are a zoo at the facility with family visiting but I digress
So then I ask what about the names of my never visit siblings and she says, "I'll put them on my ass." I agreed that would be the perfect spot.
Speaking of real brat moments. This is a real bad one. When my brother died, we were all out at the funeral home checking out their headstones, etc. For some reason my sister and I got into a horrible laughing fit. I think partly cause we were feeling emotional, so it was either laugh or bawl. I couldn't stop laughing. I became hysterical. We were all in this little golf cart type vehicle going back to the funeral home. I turned to my sister and said " I can't stop laughing" Finally I had to slap myself in the face. I hit myself so hard that it left a big red mark on my face.
We were all trying so hard to not start laughing again. My sister apologized to the funeral director. She said "Oh, don't worry, it was kind of refreshing"
Like I said, I am a big brat.
