Re: Older people and care - your view


Thanks all Yes I know but you don't want to push to much do you - he is my Uncle not my Dad - you sometimes feel like you take the pressure of foos bills etc but at the end of the day.........do people (family) think you are pushing yourself forward.....although I don't see them taking him to the barbers etc etc etc.

Re: Older people and care - your view


Unless EVERY member of the family is willing to do a slot in the day to look after him so he is always supervised, then I dont see why you shouldnt air your thoughts if you are doing more than others.

Older people are just as difficult and can cause a nuisance as younger people tend to get labeled with. My son yesterday was grabbed by an older man as he was annoyed he and his friends were playing near his house. My son is not the sort of child to be a nuisance (he is very quiet and timid) but this man grabbed Sean around the neck and lifted him up and shouted at Sean's Indian friend "black b*******d. He tried to throw Sean in the house, but he punched and kicked and got away.

The ex called the police and he has been cautioned - but what can you do about people like that??? Is he ill?? Or is he just like that?? I dont know.

Either way, he should not be left to his own devices.
