[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, at first I thought maybe she was just flighty or something, but as time goes on and there are more and more weird things.  I am really starting to wonder.  She shows up on time and everything, but I am starting to worry that, if she has such basic gaps in knowledge or some cognitive problem that she can't process these things, it is starting to get more than a little weird.  One night I even left her directions exactly where the dinner was in the refrigerator and she still got it wrong!

I didn't want to be too nitpicky, but I am really starting to think it is time for a change.[/quote]

I don't think you're being nitpicky. I think the examples you gave us suggest that for whatever reason (medication, mental illness, drugs, etc.) she is not totally with it. It is more serious than feeding your kids the wrong dinner. If there was an emergency, I doubt her ability to follow your instructions via phone or instructions from a 911 operator (i.e. administering CPR).

If she really, really did not know the difference between an apple and a nectarine, she shouldn't have been so upset about it and shrugged it off when your kid told her. Also I am a vegetarian and generally know which types of meat are which. [/quote]
