No you do not.

Home is supposed to be a place where you take refuge from the rest of the crazy world, not the other way around.
There's enough craziness out there, and nobody needs an extra dose, or more, at home.
So darn thankful that we've never had any problems like that with our 3 kiddos.
Anyway, hope they figure it out soon, and realize how stupid and selfish they've been.
And, hope very much that you find some peace very soon.
Prayers.

Did somebody say beer...?!?!?!
That should be my last name, actually!!!
Sans the DWI part that, in that case, goes along with it...

Thanks for the kind thoughts.
Wish it was as simple in the US as telling a doctor what to do for his patient that we don't have power of attorney over. Doc's around here want it substantiated before they put something like that in writing. Some doctors will, others are afraid of being sued without a history supporting recommendation of the withdrawal of the driving privilege. Last night is really the first time, balance is hearsay to Doc. Even that the Doc would likely ponder if the first documented case is enough to warrant a drastic step. No accidents, no speeding tickets. I can hear it now, how many of you have run out of gas at sometime? Who has never gotten very lost while driving? How many have ever blown off a doctors appointment or forgotten one? If the answer is yes should we have our drivers licence pulled? Does your mother always know where you are? It is a legal thing and anything but simple. What her sons are seeing and she is seeing is very different than what the Doc sees. Elder care is just sucidoodles.
She lives on her own, her condo is very neat, her bills are paid on time, she is well dressed, clean and sets her own hair every night, reads to seniors twice a week and visits the nursing home as a volunteer. Now she forgets or chooses not to eat and then can't take her particular meds but that is really hard to document and she isn't offering that up to doctors. The saving grace seems to she does see it and she is moving herself into assisted living. I do not believe she can have a car at assisted living so that should end it. My thoughts is she wants Assisted Living over living with her other sons as she will have more freedom and more choices and a say in her own care. Hopefully she scared herself enough last night she will leave it parked, better I hope one of the BILs took the car to one of their homes.

Happy anniversary @Gabe1...!!!!!!!
With yesterdays fun now behind, I hope y'all are able to celebrate together and enjoy the day...!!!
Thanks Bud. Doubt that will happen today. He went to work and then to his Moms. My guess is we will have to wait until the weekend to celebrate if he catches up at work. I'm OK with that, I'd rather he be there then the foursome that would make her feel badly about herself. This lady and I have never seen eye to eye on much but I get real PO'd when people are not nice to the elderly. I'm like this with my own Dad, he can be a real pistol but I've kept a close eye on him and his care in his extended hospital stays and when he was in the ortho rehab for a few months.
I just heard from hubby and she is doing well today, had her meds and food, they are laughing and having a fun day.

Did you buy enough to share?I bought a new trail mix. It's SOOOOO yummy. Almonds, pistachios, raisins, dried cranberries and dried cherries. And I had a coupon.

Yes, Canadians are polite. Yes, we apologize when someone bumps into us.
And as for the Bed Bath and Beyond thing - 2 points.
My goodness, whoever wrote that has anger issues. Clearly not a Canadian.
I've been to our new store three times since it opened, and each time, the cashier greeted me with, "sorry about your wait". (Better than "sorry about your weight", I guess.)

No, they are having more fun watching paint dry.

One of the funny things about watching your parents, is that your eyes are seeing things that disturb you because you have put those people at a level above that. (Generic use of the word 'you') From what you describe she is a long way away from real problems. What she did might have been just a test to see if she could still do what she did when she was younger and had nothing to do with incompetence. I doubt she will ever try that particular test again, but, she will still be driving locally as long as she can. I'd bet on it!Thanks for the kind thoughts.

I am 66 and by comparison am quite young. That said, if my kids were to decide that I was no longer competent because I forget things occasionally or with my leg issue, can no longer run fast or jump high, I would be pretty upset.
Who am I kidding, I can no longer run or jump at all.
I have already stated that if I were them, I wouldn't want to be the one that tells me that I can no longer drive. That is the only freedom my age still affords me. Take that away and frankly, why would I want to go on. I am staunchly independent. It is my life force. Without that I have no reason to hang around. Aging is not pretty, either for those watching it and for those going through it. I worry about my health but at the same time have no desire to spend the last, long years of my life sitting in a chair drooling on myself. I, honestly, would rather die.
I can't explain why she wants to be in an assisted living situation, but, there could be a number of reasons from no longer having the energy to cook and clean or desire to pay taxes and upkeep of a home or even the simple thought that she might be lonely and sees that as a way of having people around her. Connected with that is the thought of dying alone and no one being aware of it for extended periods of time. It happens very often.
If what you say is true, that you don't like to see the elderly mistreated, remember that taking away their adulthood and replacing it with old age childhood, is something that many, myself included, actually shiver to think about. It is a very thin line to walk, but, it is important to recognize their right to grow old with dignity and grace whenever possible.

I got it at BJ's (twin sister of Costco, in case you don't have those North of the border) - so it's a pretty big bag - but like I said - I may be eating way more that a person should in one sitting!!!

I am familiar with BJ's from our frequent trips to Buffalo.
I've shared this before, but I kid you not - on Transit Road, in a strip mall, there is a BJ's right next door to D*ck's Sporting Goods.
