Back home with Mom

United Kingdom

So as some will know for the first time since breaking my arm I have spent a couple of days at home on my own. I have been at my Moms during the week and back home with The Mister at the weekends …..he works away Monday to Friday. I thought that now my arm is starting to heal , and my Mom really needs a break I should try and start to do a few more things for myself. My Mom is 87 now and washing and dressing me, as well as the extra washing and cooking has really tired her out over the past few months. So I have had two days on my own. When I spoke to her this morning she asked when I was going back to her house and I knew she wanted me to return….she has been worried about me coping on my own….knowing that I would try to do too much ! Anyway, we agreed that I would come back today ….she sighed a sigh of relief….and she had already got the dinner ready …. So here I am back with her for a couple of days til Friday. She did say ….i know now you have done it once you will do it again …and I will, maybe an extra day each week….see how we go.

I'm glad Monday and Tuesday went well for you. I was concerned... I'm sure your mom is glad you're back with her for a few days, though. And I agree, add one day a week now and see how it goes... You can always change your mind at some point and go stay with your mom if you feel the need or she wants the company.

Thank you for being concerned ….that means a lot. Yes, Mom was worried and although I would have stayed an extra day I knew she wanted me back with her. So, I was quite happy to go back, yes she wanted the company as well as being worried.

@Traceyjayne You're very welcome. That's the way it is with parents, no matter how "big" their kids get.

All Mums worry about their kids, however young or old they are.

That’s very true ….thats partly why I came back home with her. She has had a few days break and she was starting to fret that I was on my own ….
