This is sort of a problem for me these days. My mother who is a person of knowledge has started to forget a lot of things lately and this is turning into a problem. I'll tell her certain things of importance and she forgets those things that I haven told her, and she constantly ask about those things, and I mean 2 to 3 times. What should I do? I try not showing my dislike about the situation but.......

We're dealing with this with my mother in law. She started forgetting things, and taking forever to complete tasks because she'd become so sidetracked constantly. For her, it's an early form of Alzheimer's. I would take her to the doctor to have her tested. It could be something as easy as a chemical imbalance that is making her confused. But you want to check to make sure. Good luck to you.
