Being the gentle parent while your kid acts like the landlord is a whole different skill set.

She won’t stop ordering stuff from those sketchy Facebook stores that sell crap, I can’t take it.

I dunno if y’all have had this experience, but getting older and trying to unpack the years of beatings I got from my mom growing up with her has only ever resulted in her immediately playing the role of the victim. Lol she really be acting like a kid explaining why they broke curfew. So I’m raising a whole grown ass middle-aged child now 🤣

Everytime I take her shopping…god forbid I wanna look around and take my time. If I’m away from her for more than 10 minutes best believe I’m getting a phone call asking me where I’m at. Mind you I’m 33 lol
Talking bout “I don’t wanna be here all day…I’m tired”
Asking me “Can you help me find this?”…As if I work there

Both me and my brother are dealing with this for my mom and it’s especially tough because my mom and my brother are basically the same person so he’s not actually helping. My mom is constantly complaining about my brother explaining basic everyday shit to her like its key to his success and he’s passing along wisdom. He’s like “well, we shouldn’t drink since we have the kids and we’re driving.” Like, yeah, no shit. Also, this is a children’s party.

My mom keeps talking about moving to another place to be with her long distance bf when he hasn’t made an effort to visit her ever! My brother moved back to where she currently lives to see her more often and she’s planning on moving again smh.

They are so damned bad behaved. Rude af and can’t change the source on their remote properly. And vex with you because they can’t figure shit out.
Throw some dementia in for good measure and its enough to lay you out.

My mum had a stroke a little over 2 years ago and I became her carer, and I really feel this a lot. Kinda helped me understand the stress she had to deal with raising me and my brother through the shit we went through.
She was a gentle, fierce but fair woman who always nurtured my passions for music and taught me so much about strength and compassion
She passed away a week ago, and I miss her so fucking much already

This woman… being loud outside singing with people around, can’t recognize AI videos, storm into her desk complaining outloud, don’t close doors behind her or smashes it, phone always low on battery while I bought her an energy bank, going to bed past 2 am like she’s some student and then is always tired.
I feel like she’s got undiagnosed hyperactivity or I don’t know what else because I’m tired real fast with her and she doesn’t seem to want to stop doing 1000 things at the same time but she’s always tired.

It’s hard having to parent your parents
