[quote=Anonymous]Kids are 5 and 2. MIL lives with us and has Parkinson’s. Older one knows that Grandma can’t do as much, need to be gentle with her, she doesn’t move quickly. But we don’t talk about her having Parkinson’s and what that means to the kids. We are working on patiences and waiting your turn to talk with older one. She is good about it 80% of the time. She needs a reminder to wait patiently sometimes. But, it is magnified with MIL. Older will want to talk, will be told to wait her turn because grandma is talking, and then it will be a slow story with lots of pauses where it is unclear if she is done talking or not or she forgets the words and then starts over. It is hard for me as an adult to stay engaged, so I know that 5 year old is having hard time. Anyone navigated this well? Just have DD wait indefinitely until MIL is done? It will be a while. Let her have a turn when MIL pauses.... [/quote]
