"You are really making some bad decisions and I have no idea why you continue to argue with me about it…. you are acting like a child !”

These are the types of converstions I used to have with my parents … several times a day!!!

If you are frustrated and angry on a daily basis because of your parents actions and fear over their safety please pay attention…

First let me share with you some real life experiences:

My father who is on oxygen but still smokes decides to go food shopping every morning around 5:30- 6 am

My mother, who is ill, decides she wants to remain in her 4 bedroom 3 bath home alone. I get her a monitor she can push if she falls tht will call for help.

She falls- refuses to use the call button and stays on the floor for 2 days without any food or water…

I could go on and on here and maybe someday I will but it led me to have a very firm opinion of what my job was as the only child of elderly parents who were not making very good decisions

MY JOB IS TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE HEALTHY AND SAFE.. I AM NOT HERE TO MAKE YOU HAPPY AND IF YOU AREN’T HAPPY SO BE IT

That is truly how I have felt and even the advice I have given when friends and subscribers have asked me questions on how to deal with their situations..

BUT over the past few days I have been reading a book called How To Say It To Seniors by David Solie

I had never really considered it from their point of you…
They were losing control
Financially
Emotionally
Physically
and in many other ways..

I started using BRUTE FORCE and honestly I was embarrassed, frustrated, even angry. If you can relate to those feeling when speaking to your parents than you need to read this..

We never really think of how they feel because we are too in the weeds trying to keep our career on track, our marriage and relationship on track, raising our kids and of course making sure their needs are taken care of.

Your parents are dealing with a lot of loss and unless they have demetia or another physical ailment you probably should approach them on a different track that is spelled out in this book with examples…

If you are in this situation I think you will enjoy it!
