Understanding a Different Behavior

Friday, January 15th, 2010

I am taking care of my grandmother for one month now and I am making some adjustment regarding her behavior. It is my first time to take care my oldies and as of now, I don’t understand why she always repeats on what she said every minute.

As the days goes by, I found out that she want someone to talk about her past. She is bored living alone and waiting for the time to rest. Maybe this is the reason why she got angry so easily. She always raised her voice in every little mistake you make. She also make some comment in every family discussion and everything she says is true and must be obey. It is difficult to take care of my grandmother because of her attitude. It affects the daily routine of my family especially when my children want to play loud music. Some of my neighbors suggest me to send her to home for the aged. In this place, they can take care my grandmother and bring back the normal living of my family. But I don’t have enough money to send her in that place and besides, I want to take care of her for the rest of her life.

I realize that it is normal for the oldies those behavior and It is my responsibility to understand her attitude.
