[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had to move my 75-year-old mother in with me a few weeks ago. Considering everything she did for me when I was younger, I initially had no problem doing this despite the sacrifices I would have to make. However, she's been here nearly two months, and she has yet to show an ounce of gratitude. She always wants to be left alone unless she needs something from me and she hasn't uttered a single "thank you" since she moved in. What would you do?[/quote] She may be wanting to be left alone because she doesn't want to be more of a bother and feels like she is more of an intrusion. Have you expressed any positive feelings about her being with you? Like, “I’m so glad you are here with us.” Or “It’s nice to be able to have dinner with you each night.” Or something similar?
