[quote=Anonymous]Had my mom in the hospital recently and maybe felt similarly. Guilt for not taking more care of her or spending more time with her in the hospital and during recovery, but some resentment (I'm not proud of) because I just wanted to focus on my breastfeeding toddler. I feel like I'm not ready for my mom to be needy yet as I'm just finding my footing as a parent. Alzheimer's is tough. No great advice, just empathy. Could your kids play outside to burn energy and lower the noise level? Do you have a friend or neighbor who you could trade afternoons with, so the kids could go over there to give you some quiet time with mom? Are the three days a week your choice, her choice, or the facility's choice? Maybe taking a week off where you just visit her but she doesn't spend the whole day with you could help you regroup.[/quote]
