[quote=Anonymous]To the poster whose mom cared for grandma for 4 years. Lets be clear, your mom did this, not you. You are very arrogant to think its that easy. Your grandma probably wasn't that severe. I tried to take care of my MIL with moderate dementia in my home. It was a nightmare. She basically functioned worse than a 2 year old and could not shower, could not remember to eat, had no idea how to use a phone, etc. She could not be left home alone so my child could not go to preschool or her therapies because of safety issues. Its very easy to say I'd never do it till you are a full time care giver. Also, my MIL turned very mean and was very abusive to me and my child. She didn't do it on purpose but it was the dementia. She's been in a nursing home for 4 years and is very healthy. She could easily be there for many more years. You are young and don't get it.[/quote]
