Holidays frustrate me. Mom has always been big on celebrating every holiday, including setting the table with "the good dishes" and tried to do that again today. She can barely hobble to the kitchen or bathroom and she wants to take time to set a special table???
The big question: why is she so focused on appearances???
I understand a big holiday where the family shows up, but its just me, her fav grandson and and herself.
And an update: Mom fell on Friday because she was outside without her cane. And she has gotten lazy about carrying her phone with her. Today when I got there, she was using her cane and wearing her phone pouch again.
As I was leaving, she called to me and made me get out of my car that I'd already started so she could have a hug. I am not touchy feely, I don't hug most people, and don't enjoy being 'forced' into it. It's not an easy situation, and i'm not feeling guilty about my choices. But it does bother me.
