I have been dealing with an older couple for several years now who live with me. I believe who they truly are comes out in old age. If they were rude, nasty, mean, didn’t care about anyone but themselves, didn’t care what they said to people, were sarcastic and demanding and wanted everything handed to them as if they were entitled then that is how they will act in their final years. They they will use there aches and pains that are a normal part of the aging proceess to use as an excuse to maltreat people and wittle them down.
They are rude and inconsiderate, has always been and aint about to change now. No matter how much you try to apease them, pleast them, love them, ignore their cantackerous ways they always respond by treating you like shit. Even when you are the one whiping the poop off their ass, cleaning up the spilled coffee, coffee grounds, bread crumbs, shit from their toilets, doing all their wash, cooking their meals….it does not matter, even when you are the one putting your arm around them every day of the week and giving them love and attention…NOPE STILL not enough. You are shit to them. Someone to cling to until they leave this world. You are the doormat and the whipping post. YOU MEAN NOTHING…... absolutely nothing to them. And when it is all said and done, you try to resolve the problem…then you are even more SHIT to them. Caring for elderly parents sucks the big one and espeically when it is elderly in-laws. I want to run away right now… raise the white flag and say F u all. But….here i am an obidient wife and a loving person who can only hold all of this in and smile sweetly…. I HATE MY LIFE…...
