Life with Dad

Caring for someone with dementia, you have to laugh to keep from crying.

Location: Texas

This blog is a reflection on being a member of the "sandwich generation". We are those sandwiched between aging parents who need care and/or help and their own children. After an extensive remodel of our house, we moved my parents in with us. Dad has Alzheimer’s, which adds complications to the situation.

Why is it

that Dad remembers to put his bib on for breakfast and non-meal times, but doesn't for lunch and dinner? When he comes to the table at random times--2:00 in the morning, 3:00 in the afternoon--he always puts on his bib. His bib stays on the back of his chair. At lunch and dinner, if I'm not fast enough, I have to get him off his bib so I can put it on. He never, ever forgets at breakfast. What's up with that?
