[quote=Anonymous]Agree that you should get help for caring for her. But also: she is 86 years old, she can eat whatever she wants. You mentioned that she doesn't like the labor-intensive meals inspired by your ethnic background. Ok, don't make those -- it is wasted effort if she doesn't enjoy them. What does she like? I don't think Ensure is your only other option. Will she eat oatmeal? Bananas? Hearty bread with butter? Tomato soup? Ask her what she wants to eat and then make sure she gets it. If she needs to drink an Ensure or take some supplements to round out her diet, so be it. But if she only feels like eating chicken Alfredo or peanut butter sandwiches or Caprese salads, let her eat that. She has earned the right to eat what tastes good to her.[/quote]
