[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's pretty rough. Some were fairly ornery to begin with and age just enhances that. Some of it is mental decline too, and frustration at the loss of independence. I see a big difference between my Grandparents and DH's. His Grandma is almost 95, and if she still had the physical ability would be completely self sufficient. My Grandma was in assisted living and very unhappy by 85. If[b] you can, set a schedule to be available. Run their errands with yours.[/b][/quote] Not the poster you are referring to, but at least with my elderly parent, it's not about the errands. It's about control. There is no interest in being convenient, it's about making someone jump when you say jump and throwing a tantrum when they don't.[/quote]
