[quote=Anonymous]My mom has dementia. I love her dearly but the behavior is really getting to me, such that I can do one thing with her per day (i.e., take her for dinner), and need the rest of the day to do my own adult/work/parenting stuff. My mom is super enthusiastic about constantly joining us, at the expense of her own things or even getting together with my sister. yesterday, she blew off my sister with a lie, just to come hang out with DCs and me at the tennis club. I really didn’t want to take her but felt bad. I know I will regret it all because I don’t think she’ll live much longer but I can’t take it every moment of the day, especially when I want to do stuff with my own kids. I don’t know how to handle this. My sister was super sad that my mom canceled on her, and I would have welcome the opportunity to spend time with DCs. I feel like a horrible daughter.[/quote]
