[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stop looking for problems both me and my spouse in our 40s do this. Not a big deal. You are completely overreacting. Wondering if you have any real problems going on in your life right now...[/quote]

Don’t be a winch.

I’m concerned about my mother and so is my brother. [/quote]

What do you want to do? Lock her up? Commit her to an old folks home?

She’s getting older, memories aren’t as great. You too will be there in a couple decades![/quote]

I think OP wants to be aware if there is an issue so she can take steps to help and protect her mother.  Because if it is the start of a decline, next it might be wanting coffee and just pressing the “on” button without putting water, filter, or coffee in (ask me how I know).  Or putting inappropriate things like metal in the microwave.  Or, forbid, turning on the stove to cook something, and then forgetting, leading to a fire.

The point is, if there are new concerning behaviors, the last thing to do is bury one’s head in the sand and ignore it.  [/quote]
