My mom keeps repeating herself, and the same stories

Well, moms are almost always like that. My mom is exactly the same, repeating the same thing over and over again. I just got used to it that when she starts talking about what she have told me yesterday, I just let her talk. Sometimes I kid around saying like.. "Different version? I think what you told me yesterday was a bit different.." Haha. Something like that. Love ya mom.

Thanks and have a nice day!=)

Well, on the surface it sounds like medical problems could be starting. I am not sure of your mothers age and medical history so that would be hard to say. The emotional side sounds like it could be pretty damaged to. Is she on any new medications? That could be a side effect. I would get her to the doctor and have her checked over just to make sure there are not any issues going on there.

..Hi.. Foremost, maybe your mother is already old.. How old is she? Sometimes, in old age, things happen like that because they are encountering what we call memory gap.. anyhow, another consideration would be her emotions.. maybe she has not yet recovered after the loss of your brother.. Who is she staying with right now? maybe somebody should really stay with her so that she can't divert her attention and eventually overcome her feelings of hurt.. If this is not possible, constant communication should be established between you and her.. through this, you can always check on your mother and be the one to tell stories to her not her telling you stories.. I hope this could help.. happy mylotting..

I think it's not a sign of a medical problem since my mom is also like that. She always keeps on repeating what she said the other day and then I will tell her.."Mom, you already told me that last time"...and then she will just go on. I know it's kind a annoying, but I understand her anyway.

hello heatherfeather!
i have actually experience the same situation but not with my mom, it is actually my aunt. I don't know if there is medical problem with that. She tells me the same story over and over again and i heard it from her for how many years already. Me and my cousins are use to that and every time she will tell the same story, we just look each other and sometimes laugh. she will just also laugh because she don't remember that she told us the same story again.

I have seen the same type of behaviour among middle aged people. I thinjk your mother feels insecure or loney. Please understand her and try to spend some time with her. She will appreciate it if you can visit her and say that you are there for her. She will be very happy. It wll be great, if you can let her grandchildren spend some time with her.

Well this can happen because of old age. How old is your mother? My grandmother has the same problem and she is 89 years old. She keeps repeating the some stories over and over again. But otherwise she is pretty sound and can still do household works properly. If your mother is younger then it is better to consult a doctor.

May be your mom is still in pain and it stresses her. It could be a sign of a medical problem if she had been into such situation for a long time. Her age could be a factor to assess if a medical condition is presenting with such actions. Try to ask her of events years ago that you knew she vividly remember. Ask her also of things she had done for the past hours. With that you can assess if she really forgets things. If she cant tell what she had done recently and cannot remember any memorable things she had then its time to consult a doctor.If she remembers all she might just have a lapse of memory when telling stories with you. She is just so excited to talk with you. She might miss you.

my mom does this.
could be stress,or she could just have nothing new to talk about.
i would try to take her on an "out" if you can.it'll probably help quite a bit.

but my mom kind of gets in a loop if she doesn't have new stimulus,it's hard to explain.

you should consult to the expert..if she dont really remember what she saying to you the other day that she told the same story maybe its a sign of senile? anyway you should go to the doctor..
