I'm simultaneously parenting my son and my mother, who does some downright dangerous things. It's frustrating when she's using a fireplace with paper strewn around, and when she gets distracted sightseeing while driving. The sorts of things you associate with people who are young and don't know better. And she looks at me like I don't know what I'm talking about because she has never burned down the house and has never hit, say, a bridge. But I had to grab the wheel to avoid the bridge. Which didn't matter to her, because did you see that house next to the bridge? They painted it. She doesn't like the new colour. Besides, she wasn't close to the guardrail.

It is a challenge to stay calm. I'm doing better, and I am sure to compliment her on things she does to help the family. But she also has to understand she needs to be responsible with fire, and as for driving, as mentioned, they aren't doing that right now.
 
Oh boy. My mom was child like in some ways near the end. My younger sister was more the parent while I let mom be. No real comparison though @chansen because there was no danger factor involved.
 
The real problem, as I see it, is trying to teach someone whose cognitive skills are improving daily, vs. teaching someone who used to know and whose cognitive skills are declining. You might get a point across one day, and the next week need to be shown all over again. And then you're told that you never showed them last week and it's your memory that's fading.

Augh.

Teaching a child is so rewarding because they take that new knowledge and run with it. Teaching your own elderly parent is the definition of Sisyphean - rolling a rock up a hill, only to watch it roll back down, and being cursed to do it over and over.
 
There is this suggesting to teach God's offspring ...

Can you imagine rising from that sort of deep rest that god's take? Like some are physically overcome and their other side ... in the myth the infinite arose among a vast stretch where intelligence resides, with Ur old queen of the night ... Sophia? She is known by so many other names ...

Will the rich put themselves out to assist ... or do they have an alternate agenda? Consider the speculation of taxes on the rich ... an observation of Erasmus on the nature of monarchial belief in their private businesses of extraction ...

What? The rich having to pay ... only when the entire thing collapses ... and they can't see it for some blind quality ... it is depressing and causes a soul to be drawn through a point ... camel's needle? There is an iCON there ...

What is a Con vs a Pro ... for humanity or against? Thus inhumanity has a place to reside ... and I say it is time for hymn to go ... and the whine is cranked out ...

Cognitive decline is a bitch. I imagine it's even worse with a spouse than a parent..

Maga enigma when the entire surround denies the total of prodigal nature ... ultimate waste?

The materials requiring mulling, digesting and classifying is immense ... and yet some will not hear or learn of the major enigma ... avarice ...

It happens when some spirits encounter material wealth ... thus the Golden Rule about distribution of the soul quality ... like The-O factor ... as we diminish in shame of extreme desire ... humbling as a nemesis ... I wait to escape to another dimension of exchange ... where I can unload what I've observed ... in the here and now ... a fut Ure item? Psyche expansion as alien graphic ...

Imagine a child raised sand witched between these 2 L's ... lol? The growing into olo ... a container of what essence of info was accrued? Soul gain ...

Then we are harvested ... like dark seed ... tares ... tar Cis? Core of darkness and mystery ... some 2 way pairing is suggested ... eliminating one way imbalances ... thumb on the Pan as dervish? The dislike for rational restrictions ... and going with the winds ... wayward or falling barometer ... they do the dance like the essence from out there arriving lightly ... deprived of heavy handedness ... the process of myth? Mores to look into ... lengthy myth!

There are those that say it is cyclic ... it comes about ... and you get what is dished out ... so present an gentile expression ... regardless of what was received ... watch the response and you'll learn something ... literary gifts? Not hard lines ...

Standing waves ... few will grasp ... retained by the passage ... as a light at the end of a tough journey ... always more than expected ... good, bad, ugly or beautiful ... that Sunday Morning Stopper ... Never on Sunday? Believe there's more ... you haven't see anything yet ... until encountering those rejected soul stories ...
 
Consider the situation that some people refuse to think (psyche process) and what overload (AL) that places on the balance of the processing device ... kindling core fires ...

The sad part is some people didn't receive that gift only excess destructive will ... creating that sensation of rush in the desert between the dry will and the whetted wanderer ... migrations? Alba trussed ... tied up souls in a safe place ... hidden words ... well regarding their understanding ...

Expect excavations ... the working of the earth ... as a place for the stranger to find shelter ... sensations? Earth shaking on release ... tensions of the dirt-mire ... Mere-Earth ... science of what's underfoot has to be hidden as the roue-L power didn't wish it ... consider all the illiterate royals and how they enforced their desires ... writ of law that's with obscure agenda? Thus the dig ...
 
The hits just keep on coming. Cancelled their Rogers account in the summer, and they were still receiving bills. Seems they got my dad to agree to a sim card four years ago and have been charging him for it since. Never used. They seem to remember getting some sort of card in the mail back then but it wasn't a bill so they threw it away.

I have been providing them with two cell phones for about 5 years. They didn't need a Sim card. Some Rogers salesman called and took advantage of my father and got him to agree to something he didn't need and didn't understand, then they never noticed on their bill for 4 years. I'm taking over their bills and the fact that they still receive a Rogers bill comes up.

I've spent 3 hours on the phone over 2 days, demanding to hear the recording where my dad agreed to the Sim card. They will not play it for me.

I'm just so bloody done with them. I have phones with Rogers. Not for long.
 
And they complain that spammers and scammers prey on the elderly. No one mentions the legitimate businesses that do it.

I detest Rogers (and Bell for that matter) but I'm kind of stuck with them at work. Corporate got in some kind of a snit with Telus, our old mobile provider and made us follow them over to Rogers, claiming we would get a better deal. We didn't. Service is marginally better in my neighbourhood and some other areas but not enough to justify it.

I've observed it going on in businesses that believe it is the norm ... anything to grow business ... at another time the royals ... another time agin it was the church ... of course this is news believers would deny ... thus denial was created ... the answer is irony and subtleties because of the insane believe in what can't be for sure only by faith in what's unseen! The great mystery to be investigated and questioned ...
