[quote=Anonymous]It's hard for everyone... caring for an aging parent is very hard. I'm sure I would be quite cranky too if I had aches and pains, bad sleep, and knew it was all downhill from here. Aging is just really hard. Maybe you could take her out for a nice meal, and if that puts her in a better mood, ask her very sincerely what things would make it easier for her. Does she want to see someone about her aches and pains or sleep issues? More help around the house? Maybe you could hire someone to drop by twice a week to help with "housework" but the real purpose is letting your mom vent? Try to address the actual underlying problems. Good luck to you, OP. Doing right by parents can be a really long, tough road sometimes.[/quote]
