:happy2::happy2: I’m an only child, will ye come to mine too:thumbsup:

Lots of great conversations going on today. I think as we get older we are happier in our own skin and more confident. I’m certainly not the people pleaser I once was and am now well able to say no. Also happy having time to myself and would sit in my own mess crocheting or reading for hours. I don’t know if I would define it as isolating or just happy in your own company? Don’t feel the need to be constantly surrounded by people. Having said that they keep coming visiting. Daughter back tonight from hols and sil and family will be here next week.

Mine keep visiting too and I give out in my head but guessing if they stopped we'd be sad??!!
I think there's a difference to CHOOSING time to myself and constantly pushing people away or ALWAYS wanting to be alone - I have to regularly check which it is - the difference being when I'm automatically with people 40 hours a week - like benjy says the rest of the time is rightfully mine..... Splitting hairs mebbe

Agreed rusty - lots of great conversations. And aye, i'll be at yours! (Gawd this is somewhat dark banter we're having :haha

i think (deep down) we know when we are isolating, or simply allowing ourselves to enjoy our own company without feeling we need to be out with others. I only say that, cos i think that i do isolate - insomuch as say no to offers of, e.g. a dinner or a pop down the pub, or to another's abode, when i ought to be saying yes. But for me isolation, perhaps, has been a result of control issues rather than getting wise. You ladies are wise. This arse is still scrabbling about trying to learn!

I woke too early too - feckidy feck !

My brother is acting the bollix regarding my mother's long term care.
Wants to bring her home - even tough she has dementia, Lung Fibrosis, needs nursing 24/7 and will end up in a Q in the hell that is A&E within a week with another infection.
The geriatrician treating her has said all of this.
I just hope he's ready for it if it happens. Changing your own mother's diaper or cleaning 'an accident' is not pleasant for her or you.
A lot was hidden from him regarding the reality of incontinence etc 'cos my mother was embarrassed.
The other reality is she will keep getting infections that needs treating by IV antibiotics & steroids.

Someone is telling him that 'home is best' - it is not always best.

Re: July Army Manoeuvres

Doubt it he's thought it through - does she want to go home as well? Maybe she's playing you? Old people can do that
