[quote=Anonymous]OP the people posting that you should devote hours to get your parent to take medication haven't dealt with difficult parents. Family members have told me I should just lie about what the pills are, slip the pills into food, spend hours everyday convincing my mother to take her medication and finally threatening her she needs to take it or she won't get something. Legally, you can't do that. And read the post about the person who spent five years with their parent in a hospital bed and needed a Hoyer lift so the parent must have been pretty incapacitated, having to shower the parent, then transferring parent to wheelchair then to be for nap. What kind of life is that. The vast majority of people if asked do you want to live like that would say no. I would never ever want anyone I cared about or loved to waste 4 years of their lives doing that for me. [/quote]
