[i]Where is my eyeglasses? Where is the hammer, the pliers, the scissor?

This was all you can hear from him.. all the noise. cause he don't know how to use his eyes when searching for things. all he depends on you and grumble you no matter what you are doing.
How can you live with a person like that? plus he always complains on things, forces you to act quickly when he is just lying and waiting and didn't even bother helping to make the job easier...
Argh! I can't breath at times, I want to scream and shut his mouth up..
How about you giys, what would you do with such person?

If you are living with such a person, I guess it's the time to talk to him of what you think... Of course, it could be tiresome living with people who always complain and asking you to do things when he/she is not even doing anything.
I would ask him/her to look for the thing themselves and I would talk them into organizing their belongings well.

welcome back to life!
glad to see you again,jennyze! :)
you are right, it's hard to live with a person like that. wel, i hope he'll be more useful and make things on his own. without even waiting for others to tell what he'll do.
organizing things? that's what he always tell us but he didn't even do to his own things...

Hi annavi23, I don't think all elderly persons would behave like this. Just take an example talking about my husband's elder's sister. She is 75 plus in age. Certainly she is quite absent minded and forget this and that, but she is really diligent in doing all sort of household work. She treats this as her daily physical activities to keep her sweating often, and stay healthy
She is an enthusiastic and helpful person as well. She likes to help us do whatever she could when we are busy at home. But we always ask her to have a rest and watch tv program at her bedroom. We don't want her to do works that are our responsibility
Seems that different people have different habits respectively when getting old. But in your case, his disgusting habits of course would disturb the peaceful daily life of others who live under the same roof certainly.
Happy posting

I just keep on telling my own story until I don't have time to answer your questions. Really, I would be irritated as well if living together with someone that behaves like what have come across. It's not occasionally, if so we still could tolerate but it happens in every now and then in daily life. Moreover he is healthy enough to do all those simple chores himself right! I hate people live like a mummy and reply on others even wee matter, and never care about how busy other are I can bear grumble noise made as well Certainly I can't live with people with all those disgusting behaviors. Yeah, lost privacy and freedom completely to live with such people.
Lol...I would like to leave him alone and lock myself in a room sometimes. If I have to deal with stuffs outside the room I surely will tell him aloud where the thing he is looking for is and ask him to get it himself. We must learn to bear the noise he made and don't give any response. Hoping that he would stand up and do it himself if he really needs the stuffs asking for. Or if I could I would find another place to settle down but still take care of his living if he is the one we can't abandon. He will do everything himself if there isn't anyone for him to rely anymore the whole day long I suppose. Yeah, he has to deal with all the things he needs if no one is around for him to depend.

Yes, most of the time, people should learn living just by themselves. He can do sewing, but househld chores? He will just do it if he is alon3 in the house. Or if so, he will leave all the work undone and wait for others to go home so they'll do the job.
Locking in the room won't help cause you will just both be stressed out because of shouting.
and he will just wait for you to come out and do all things. You really have no choice.
you know, if i just had money to live away from him, i would do so. Unless, i would choose to live with friends house just to teach him a lesson. And it's also can help me live on my own as well.

Hello lkbooi, yeah for sure it would be disturbing... caus you know, if you keep moving and don't think too much, you'll get to see that you find happiness and achievement. Even 8f it's just small thing you did. It does make sense.
But if you fjust do that lying and keep on complaining, you are just stressing out yourself and all people around you. Chances are, they would want to leave you behind...
I know some people who are elderly who still do just like they were before. I guess he just didn't really have patience or just have no initiative on helping others. He always waits for someone to do things for him. Even getting food from ref or change the channel from what he was watching...

I do not know how I would live with a person like that. As far as losing things, if he would put them back where he got them, he would not lose them. I have a special place for my keys, for my eyeglasses. I can find them, even with my eyes shut

Not everything is so neat and tidy as that, but my keys and my glasses are the two things I must have, so I take good care of them.

Usually when people grow old, they will have this problem. It just depends on whether it is serious or not. And I found out a truth, that is if you stop looking for it, it will be shown soon later. So when you can't find something at present, don't be worried. Sooner or later it will appear by itself:)
I love China

I know that feeling as well.I feel that it is not only my husband is like this, but so are our children, as they never can find the things that they are looking for either.
I get really annoyed that they never put the things away that they use, where if they had, then they would know where they were, then they would not have to shout when asking where they have been put away.

I didn't know jugsjugs is a girl and already had a family..
well, i think your children learned their lesson. just always remind them that remember where they put their things so they can find it easily.
the problem is that sometimes those eyeglasses always placed everywhere. so most of the time, noises comes around..

Wow, that is annoying. I remember when I was a lot young and my grandma was still alive. I also liked saying "where is it?" So she told me, "Look with your eyes, not with your mouth." From then on, I learned not to always be saying "where is it" when I'm looking for something (well, at least when she was around. )

Gloryacam,i believe it is our duty to be responsible and don't be stressed too much specially when finding things.
It is necessary to use your eyes for searching things, plus th thought of reminding ourselves wh3re did we last seen or placed it.
Avo8d talking too much and walking around. Think b3fore you act.

Were you just being grandma? Of course I did learn eventually what she wanted me to learn. I "look with my eyes, not with my mouth" now. And, normally, I don't stress out so much over things. And most definitely, I now think before I act. It was a hard lesson to learn, but, people learn.

Hehe, does it sound like your grandma then?
Well, maybe I just had the same feeling she got.
And you have stated that you act right when she's around...so maybe I am reminding you to act right...
though, i might say, i am not that old enough to be a grandma. just a reminder for you. and for myself...
