Is my grandma ill or losing her mind?
Hello. I have a stressful ummm family. My uncle paid for our house but we need to watch my father's side mom. We lived with her for over 13 years. I am 14. But lately she is driving everyone crazy. She is 93 btw. She won't listen to anyone but her kids. My mom and I are the only one really watching her. My aunt helps at 5 when she gets back from work. My dad works the entire day. When we tell her to sit down or sleep, she just wants to get up. She can walk but if she does, she will mostly fall. She just doesn't seem to understand this. It's my uncle's house so we can't kick her out. My uncle also doesn't want her to be put in a nursing home. I talked to my mom and calmed her down most of the time, but I can't keep this up. So any help would be nice guys :)
Are you and adult and have a grandparent who's still alive?
Looking for the oldest person in P&S with at least one grandparent alive. (Say your average age if you don't want to be exact) I'm in my 30's and both grandparents on my dad's side are still around. Poll: Do grandparents rock? Yes or No.
My friend stole $2,000 from my grandmother? but have no proof!?
Ok so I was living with my grandmother last year when I was 17. My grandmother is somewhat wealthy she works for a big company in Valencia, California. So my grandma's son was in some kind of trouble in El Salvador so she flew over there for two weeks and left me here in Los Angeles because it was in the middle of the school year so I couldn't go. She told me I could invite friends over to stay the night and just chill and have some fun. She told me to keep her room and her office locked ( I forgot to lock her room). And so my friends came over almost everyday and would spend the night in the two week period. My grandma finally came home and I was do excited to see her (she had came home while I was at school) I came home to an upset grandmother, like she wasn't mad she just looked dissapointed. Long story short two of my friends started avoiding me, my grandma didn't want to do an investigation. She had money and some rings missing from her room. She shipped me back to arizona, she didn't seem to trust me. I want to go back and prove her it could've been one of my friends. But how? Plese help
What would u buy a 89 year old woman for her birthday???
How close are you to her? The reason I asked was that my first thought was to give her a gift certificate for a massage or a spa day. Even if it's just paying for part of it--because she's probably got some aches if she's that active. But, if she's just going to give it away, maybe you could take her out for a day, and TAKE her to a spa or for a massage. That way you know her snotty grandkids won't steal it. A second choice is something to wear when she walks. . .perhaps a pair of cute exercise pants or a shirt in her size. Cute for an almost 90 year old is enough different than for a 30 year old that her grandaughter won't want it. You could also get her a coffee table book about the year she was born or the era in which she was born. Check the history section of the bookstore. She may get a kick out of seeing how different things were, and you'll get the added benefit of hearing her stories. You could get her a few dvds of classic movies that were hits when she was in her 20's or late teens. You can go online to see what they were, and to find the most popular ones. It would be fun for her to see a movie from her youth, and to share those memories with her family. Again, I doubt the grandaughter would steal those. You could help her enroll in an adult education course of her interest. If she's as active as you say, she might want to do more. For example, take a photography class. You could give her an annual membership to a nature center if there's one near you. This is awesome for older people who are active because they do nature walks, lectures, evenings with grandkids, etc. You could get her a walking kit--include sunscreen, massage lotion, sunglasses, a hat or visor, songs for her itunes or a cd for her cd player (if she uses one when she walks). You could get her a gift certificate to a store that wouldn't interest her grandaughter. Think about what else she likes to do--gardening? cooking? tea? and pick something from there. You could get her a gift subscription to a magazine that will interest her. That way she can't give the gift away because it will be coming to her personally once a month.
