Well this morning I was a little dismissive when my youngest told me he wasn’t feeling well so of course I got a call from the school nurse saying he puked. At the moment I am sitting in the car in my driveway after having picked him up & brought him home. I’m off from work the rest of this week but I really feel like this whole parent thing is a way harder job & requires so much more flexibility & wisdom & breadth of knowledge than any job I’ve ever gotten paid for. & now I’m going in the house to find the puke bucket.break_down wrote: »TwitchyMagee wrote: »This is unseasonable creekage

Awww dang it! I am so sorry he is sick. Hope he feels better SOON. Spot on with the parenting thing. My kid is 20 years old, and I am still making mistakes. Where is the rewind button?4 -

That’s exactly what it feels like. And some days I just don’t know where I’m gonna find the energywatch_out_for_that_tree wrote: »TwitchyMagee wrote: »

My mom is 75 and fell yesterday. I live 13 hours away and am starting to regret that that I moved that far away 3 years ago. Because I really can't do much to help out way down here. I wonder if my brothers and I should look into life alert (that little button they push when they fall and can't get up). or, just keep going with life and see if it happens again. I feel so un prepared on how to deal with aging parents. AND I'm not looking forward to all the discussions that my 2 siblings and I will need to have.
How far away do you live from your parents?7 -

I'm not one for unsolicited advice, but life alert would give your family a "peace" of mind.
As long as she's open to the idea, and doesn't hang on a door knob like my own stubborn Mother.

I think the life alert is a good idea. At least it would give you and your family peace of mind.
We were lucky to get my parents into a nice seniors residence before my dad died. Now my mom is safely there with caregivers, makes ife easier for me since my brother is 2 provinces away and my mom liked to make trips to the hospital. It's hard figuring out what's best for our parents when all of a sudden we're the grown ups having to make decisions0 -

Touché. Yea, sometimes I think "let's just point this nose towards the ground, take a deep gasp after the oxygen mask drops, and get it over with".

My dad lives about an hour away from me (where both my parents lived until my mom passed away nearly 4 years ago). They had been going to Florida during the winters here and I never worried about them. Now he continues to go alone; he's in great health, but I worry a little because he's so far away - he's 83.SherryRueter wrote: »My mom is 75 and fell yesterday.

I am currently 2000 miles away give or take some. My mom is strong, doing well, and very active so there is almost always someone around with her so I am not worried.1 -

My mom is 95yrs old, still drives and takes care of my 57yr old handicapped brother 3days a week.
I live 20min away and still worry.
She did finally get a nurse/helper that comes to her house M-Th from 8:00am to 1:00pm.
Takes her to the store, any errands mom wants to do, helps her with her computer, stays in the bathroom while mom showers.
She has to pay for most of her visits as Long Term Care was practically a sham but it is SO worth it!1 -
Got my cancer drive done, laundry folded, groceries done...now I basically have a free day!!!! So exciting1

Maybe you should pack them back up and send them to some other random (or not so random) address.1 -

That is hilarious but I already threw them out. I was disappointed it wasn’t a book or craft item that I forgot about. Now I need to treat myself0 -
