@4meAndyou no...
Although on the train journey back what my mum had to say to me was this...
When we visit family I shut down. I can't deal with it all. They are all so loud and seem to love the sound of their own voices they talk about things even when it's unnecessary. They can't stand silence. Unfortunately it makes me anxious and I want to just get away.
One of the things I did have to say to my mum was for the first time I have to agree. I was happy that my dog got along with family members especially my grandfather but I desperately wanted to tell them to shut up.
So many people were calling to Bruno that he didn't know whether he was coming or going. The poor thing.
In the end even he stopped listening to people calling to him. I should have had a counter for everytime someone called his name unnecessarily.
*sigh*

@cherokeepatti in this economic crisis. Ha..
She might have been pissed at me because I went out to walk Bruno at 6.45am trying to maintain consistency despite being somewhere new. Anyways when we returned he had his breakfast and I would make myself a cup of tea. As my grandparents were up I wouldn't even ask if just make them a tea and bring them a couple of biscuits.
They sang my praise about it.
Unfortunately knowing who my mum is I didn't dare disturb her sleep for tea.

@Mellowgirl well I wouldn’t wake someone up to ask but would ask everyone else. I have two teapots and can make two different kinds at the same time

If this is a change in her behaviour it may indicate something more than "selfishness". What is she like in her own home? Does she have problems finding things/remembering??

@Fluffybull she's very messy and only does Chores when it gets really bad. When flies are starting to sprout... Or I visit... Which these days is very rare

@Mellowgirl She may be depressed or have other mental health issues? Early signs of Alzheimer's? Can you suggest she have a check-up at the doctors?
