Someone being forgetful as they get older

[figjam]

our generation work different to how hers used to work in the olden days and wondered if thats more why or because of her getting more forgetful and having good and bad days and sometimes not even remembering how to turn a simple switch on or off.

I am an older person .............. what subject were we writing about ?
Ohh, yes ......... back in the olden days, people used to work, slaving in the fields growing their cotton and wheat, for a small bowl of rice per day, if we were lucky.
And we had to get up in the morning, just before we went to bed, to sweep the chimney, before lighting the fire with one match and a bucket of wet logs.
What did the Russians and Chinese ever do for us ? The current generation of workers who are in their 30s/40s/50s just would not understand,.
Oopps, I've gone off track again .......... must remember what this thread is all about.
Was it about a dog ?

Is it how her generation worked or early stages

Initially, with the long repetitive ramblings of the first post, i thought it was actually a joke so was waiting for the punch line.
But no joke, so my suggestion would be that you talk to your boss about your work concerns.

If you're working in a Deli, you're not paid enough to solve other employees health problems or the underlying business problems.
It's not your business so it's for the owner to be across these issues.
If the owner is accepting of such behaviour, because it's his mother, it's a good thing and so be it.

If her behaviour that bothers you and you can't talk to your boss about his mum, look for another job.

If your curious about dementia, google it and read until your content, or ask on some health forum or even seek correct medical advice when you next see your GP if it's that much of a concern...

But, ffs, it's a car forum and even though this was posted in the pub, IMO it's not ideal to be asking about health issues on a car forum...

Car forums should be for car related things. IMO, that should also hold some truth even in the "anything goes" pub section where there should be some loose car related connection....

Thanks will leave it at that was mainly interested to know information didn’t know there was another forum but ok

Ooooh guys he's back again asking important life questions on a Commodore forum.

I wonder if he'll report every comment he doesn't like the answer to like his last thread about buying a house on centrelink/part time work.

If your actually willing to accept peoples advice this time, please ask the questions but don't ignore and report everyones advice because it's not the answers you wanted to hear this time.


You can't use being from a different generation as an excuse for not doing what she asks of you when she asks it etc. If you don't like whats happening, find another job. If she owns the store (deli I think you told us in the last thread) then it's her shots to call.

At the end of the day it's her store, you are her employee. If you are in the middle of serving a customer and she tells you to stop, you stop, it's her store thats her choice to annoy the customer not yours, even if she doesn't realise what she's doing isn't whats best for the business.

I for one vote for this thread to be shut down....He posts absolute shite..

Won't mention the lovely message he sent me because he didn't like my attitude to his last post....

This is a car car forum, not a specialist doctor's waiting room.

Been doing these type of questions here and on the Ford Forum ( and others ?) for at least 12 years.
I was naive enough to reply to a 'how do I find friends' question by suggesting he gets a dog.
That would be one instant friend, which would lead to meeting other dog owning people who he may get along with.
Have you got that dog yet, shonky12 ?

Never takes any suggestions, and just keeps thinking of more pointless questions.
Don't be sucked in by replying ........... you are wasting your precious electrons.

Just think....With the tax cuts spruked in the budget, he might end up with $1,500, + the extra $250 the gov't are offering pensioners, he should be able to buy that dog.....Just got to hope he doesn't get scammed with one of those online puppy scams that are getting round...Otherwise we'll end up with another useless thread....

At 80 ?

My mate got it in his 50s.....now that is early onset.

Now that is waaaaaaay to early to have early onset.

Hi everyone



as the place am working at is up for sale and it could sell quick or may take 2 years am wondering wether the owner will likely last 2 years there.



wondering because she’s getting a bit tired and cranky like our old local bingo leaders were at the end and every little thing gets to her now.



am also feeling same and tired and had enough and want to do something else.



sometimes don’t feel appreciated as well and she should have put the shop up for sale sooner or tried harder to sell it the first time she tried in 2017.



do you’s think she will last 2 years before she’s as cranky as our old bingo leaders or worse or will it likely happen before then.



how long will you’s give it before she’s as cranky as our old bingo leaders were.



as sad as it is am thinking she’s done right thing as sometimes you got to make a tough decision that it’s time.



am feeling that it’s time and when the new owners take over already made the decision that won’t be staying long if at all when they take over but trying to wait until the old owner is out.



sometimes not all am feeling unappreciated and that may not be able to wait but trying to do right thing and wait to get out and do something else.
