Wedding Woes

Oh, Drama Llama...

Grandma (not Satan) told my dad this morning at 6am that she wants to move out. She's unhappy because she doesn't like being chauffeured around and having to abide by said chauffeurs work schedules.

She also announced that she's got her eye on a convertible. (Yes, this is the woman with double vision who's had several accidents - None her fault!!! - in the past few years.)

My mom said they're circling the wagons and getting dad's siblings involved. The only other place she could go would be assisted living, and she doesn't want to go anywhere but her own apartment.

Once again, I'm glad I'm 1500 miles away.

  • How does she still have a driver's license?

  • That must suck losing your independence, but she needs to realize she cannot live alone or drive without dire consequences.  Does she just plug her ears and say "LALALA I'M NOT LISTENING"??

    it's nice to want things.

    i thought it wasn't the double vision -- i thought she was always a terrible driver, with the gunning the engine out the driveway and such.

  • She has always been an awful driver. The double vision exacerbates the problem.

    And my mom said her license expires in August, and they're going to see if her doctor will write a "DO NOT ALLOW THIS WOMAN TO DRIVE!" note to the DOT.

    She's definitely childish. My grandpa babied her, and she expects to be catered to. If she's not, the schit hits the fan.

  • tell mom and dad to get a spray bottle.  when grandma does or says something they doesn't like, they should spray her in the face with it and say 'NO."

  • DH's parents had to have the doctor do that for GFIL. He was blind in one eye, but still drove. And when he would get his good eye dilated, he used to let his wife with Alzheimers drive him home.

    Is there any possibility of her getting a practical nurse a couple days a week to cruise her around?
