Here We Go Again...

I'm sure that one of these days your Mother will come and live with you but right now she's still so independent!! On second thought......it might be that she'll NEVER give up her independence!!!!! Who knows with your Mom!! I just love her spunk!!! I know that she keeps you on your toes but she does keep you laughing!!! Give her a hug from me!!!

She must be happy to be home! I hope it goes smoothly now.

She would drive you just as cray if she lived with you, I think, just in other ways, but at least she would be right there so you could watch over her.

One day at a time, my friend.

Judy is right, you and your mom might drive each other crazy if she was living with you.
That time may come, so don't hurry it. Take it from me - I've had my mom since 2001 and it was very hard at times - for both of us. She's now staying with my daughter and they have their ups and downs.

It is much easier in some ways to have them with you and much harder in other ways. So, if it comes to her living with you, so be it and you both will manage. It is great that she is able to manage on her own for a while longer.

It's hard either way though - you are doing a good job!

Thank you all for the support. I know I shouldn't wish she'd come live with us right now...she needs her independence and like you've all said we'd just have other problems. I mean even now...there are times when I want to say something to her so bad, but I've learned to hold my tongue. In the end...it really won't matter, so best not to argue about it now. So...one day at a time...one day at a time.

My grandmother used to tell my aunt "You have to wiggle through each day."

Isn't it the truth?
