Like everything else in life there are good times and bad times. <BR/><BR/>Last few days haven't been too bad.<BR/><BR/>Elder care has similarities to bringing up kids. You never get it quite right first time round and there are no second chances.Nellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14527285652038975147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102969.post-69008026588068989102008-12-29T20:51:00.000+00:002008-12-29T20:51:00.000+00:00God luv ya.

Yet as my sister pointed out, we all liked her. She was fun.<BR/><BR/>You definitely deserve to prop up your feet and ignore the bell.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102969.post-8003715550434949832008-12-15T05:26:00.000+00:002008-12-15T05:26:00.000+00:00wow I couldnt live with an in-law...but I guess I ...wow I couldnt live with an in-law...but I guess I first should get a lover before I even kick her mother out.sagewebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06818567803401688931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102969.post-57051580723061068662008-12-13T16:47:00.000+00:002008-12-13T16:47:00.000+00:00It's hard.Just know that you can always vent here....It's hard.<BR/><BR/>Just know that you can always vent here.<BR/><BR/>Try to remember that she produced Bert, and, if she didn't exist, he wouldn't, either.<BR/><BR/>Also, you'll be that elderly lady someday. What goes around comes around.<BR/><BR/>I didn't much like having Addy with us, either. It put a damper on our privacy, even when she was not taking up all my time.<BR/><BR/>Can't Bert take over some of the cleaning up?<BR/><BR/>Jim couldn't stand to see Addy so weak and needy. He kept trying to jolly her back to being ten years younger.Ronnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02062796442588373271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102969.post-7395144134137909242008-12-13T15:58:00.000+00:002008-12-13T15:58:00.000+00:00Families tend to be best appreciated at a distance...Families tend to be best appreciated at a distance.

I still feel that curtain of doom descend when I think of it after all these years. She probably wasn't that bad. It was just very mentally and physically draining. Old people can be so self centered.<BR/><BR/>My heart is with you. Here, have a little Irish Cream with your coffee.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
