I myself am too lazy to get into conflict, which is not a very positive thing either.<br /><br />I hope you have a nice time despite the limitations.Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16601902091484978157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17974015.post-61990413109943394632011-01-11T09:27:35.876-08:002011-01-11T09:27:35.876-08:00I know you are right about having a visiting child...I know you are right about having a visiting child to show off in the dining room. From what I observed with my mother, retirement and assisted living places are pretty much like high school with cliques and constant battling for status!<br /><br />My mother became very timid about going out to unfamiliar places after living in a facility for a time. There are so few decisions to be made that residents seem to lose confidence in their ability to confront the wider world.<br /><br />It took me awhile to realize that my mother had undergone mental changes as well. Dementia is so slowly progressive that it has to get well along before we notice.<br /><br />I don't think there is anything wrong with your taking one or two days of your week's visit to do what you want. Can you rent a car?LenapeGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10335919271003928795noreply@blogger.com
