A changing person?
When we began the annex journey my mum was apprehensive but got on with it – we had to push her into the annex almost literally at the start but it soon became her home
We all started living together and enjoyed family shared life
this has been going for 4-5 years now with small ups and down, little arguments but generally good
In the last few months though she has become much more fed up, through a combination of ageing, not being able to do what she used to, less mobile, less friends who as they die of, and more talk of not wanting to be here.
What do you do, there don’t appear to be any easy answers and I am finding myself becoming less of a pleasant person to her, cutting her of almost as I don’t like the consistent unhappy miserable attitude, I don’t want to hear the same things each night, I want to enjoy my young growing family and family life and not hear about the stupid hoover or how crap tv is.
We try our best, taking her out with the dog but with her mobility issues this is less frequent and her low attitude makes it less pleasant to do so – this leads me to feel that I am not doing enough and worry about having regrets when she is no longer here!
It would be good to hear from others people out there who have annexes and have difficulties with a parent and the things they do over weekends to help with the issues raised above.
Thanks for reading and would love any feedback from others.
thanks
