Find Care & Housing
Hello there! I care for my elderly mother as well. I totally understand what you mean. I basically care for my mom on my own without the help of my siblings. It's a lot of responsibility to handle to care for someone but it comes when your the one they trust and rely on for their care. What I try to do a lot is try to get her mind to think about other things, I joke around or we end up calling her sister overseas or just play some music. It's just their way of knowing that you care and are not going anywhere, since no one else comes around as much. It shows how much she needs you!

Hi Happy go lucky irritating isnt it. I am told its their inner child like voice which they feel able to use as they see you as a mother figure - someone they trust and rely on. I have been known to whine back and say w.h.y. d.o. y.o.u. t.a.l.k t.o m.e. i.n. s.u.c.h.. a w.h.i.n.y voice but i have to say I havent found anything that stops it. Luckily mum doesnt do it all the time
