I mentioned here recently that we are staying in my in-laws house and its been 2 months since we stayed here since my husband has no job yet and now we are staying here together with his parents.
His step-mom is now 82 years old. She's ages like my grandmother. Me and my husband were in different generation. I mean his siblings were ages just like my aunties. He's the youngest and I am eldest thats why.
His step-mom already forgetting a lot of things. I dont know if that's an Alzheimer's but all I know is that its part of being old but unlike the other old people she's acting differently.
Last night, we cant able to sleep because she always open the door of her room and go to the kitchen, opening the stoves, getting some utensils, preparing some coffee in the middle of the night. She do it everynight, so me and my husband didnt sleep well always. When my husband talked to her and saying that its already 1:00 am and dont make some noise because our son might wake up, she got angry and start saying a lot of words from my husband and during mornings she didnt knew about those happenings.
Every time that there's a food in the kitchen or in the table, she will opened it and eat the food using her hands even if the food is soup dish. So what we did is we make sure that we secure the food. We hide the food on the room so that she can eat it using her hands.
She also forgot to remove her slipper when entering the house , thats why our house has many dust and sometimes I feel so tired to clean it because afterwards it will become dusty again.
She always hide some stuff in the house. Like the diswashing liquid, shampoo, pot holder, slippers, broomstick , she hide it in her room so you need to secure your things always. Our room is always locked so that she couldn't enter it.
She loves to drink coffee, every other hour she prepare coffee and sometimes she forgot that she heated water from the stove. The kettle was broke because of over heat. She just keep the 3 in 1 coffee in the plate organizer and sometimes the coffee was scattered inside because it's already opened.
I pity her honestly. I try understand her because its the only thing I can do. I am just observing her actions, what she will do and where she go. I feel guilty because my husband wants me to live in this house for good. But I dont want because I know I will be the one who got stressed and one thing, I have a son who is 20 months old that needs me and I dont know if I can able to do the chores, taking good care of my son and my mother in law as well.
If you are curious about my father in law. They are not in good condition. They have separate room. They eat also separately. So that's another thing thats make me think to stay here.
I dont know what to do. Can you give me some advice or thought especially the one who lives in their in-laws.
I will appreciate your comment.
