Yes, laughter is definitely needed at times! My mum can argue black is white when she has convinced herself her version is the right one! Glad to hear its all being addressed so quickly too. It can be hard at this time of life being the grown up with aging parents xx.
I can relate to your wheelchair experience - my mum would insist I shared her half eaten old stale chocolate which she always had in her handbag. We did laugh though which always made things more manageable. I learnt to agree with nearly everything mum told me and just smiled at some of the more impossible things. This weeks writing may not be to do with art but its still a good read. Thankyou.
Thank you Sheralyn… I had meant to reply and then got bogged down with stuff as we do! Yes, I find agreement is the best policy and we still laugh a lot. Our current game is ‘hunt the handbag’ which she hides somewhere different every week!
Also been there and got the t shirt! It’s exhausting at the time but I look back now and am so glad that we too were able to laugh -some of the time! Keep going, you’re doing a great and loving job.
Keep smiling, and laugh when you can! Sometimes it's sooo difficult not to argue.
I’m learning not to argue and not to ask too many questions but sometimes I just can’t help myself!

It’s definitely tricky times but laughing does help… and I have learned it’s best not to argue!
Definitely… pick your battles!

Thank you Gillian. Sadly this seems to be a common experience for so many people. But laughing definitely helps.
