My wife become very emotional in this house.

This can be solved easily. You should put some cotton,woolen or coir mats where she needs to stand. http://www.gelpro.com/ This link just shows you a sample but these type of mats are available anywhere in India. I use them.

I don't understand, are her feet very bad? If so can't you get her what we call a walker? This helps one stand and walk, it has rubber on the four feet and this makes it quite stable. I think your Son is mean to make his Mother cry, she must be afraid and yet she is still trying to be hopefull. You can also put special rugs on the floor that makes them less slippery. Please try to help this woman.

I can imagine she is crying in frustration, it must be extremely frustrating for her not being able to do things, and she feels she is not looking after her family and feels a failure because of her disability. I think the suggestions are right as small measures to help her, by placing mats on the floor to ease the pain off the tiles and give her some added grip.

Tiles are so smooth she slips? The mother is upset. Why? Doesn't she like the new situation? Maybe she goes barefoot she won't have the problem on the tiles. Or maybe she needs to wear different shoes.

Hi friend, good to hear about your shifting. Hope you are enjoying in the new place, sad to know about your wife problem, tell the servant to come for her job early to avoid this problem. Wish you to solve this issue soon

I know and understand, not being able to do anything which seems so simple for most people are very frustrating. So she has become sensitive and cries easily. But I say if she has a problem with the footing you can try the walker so the floor won’t be too smooth for her. Please be patient with her, and I can understand that she feels so hurt because she can’t make something for her son which for normal person without illness is very simple.

I would just like to ask to have some more patience with your wife. She might feel kind of out to place where you have shifted to, but maybe it will get better once she finds friends there. However, I would also like to caution you that her problems are not medical, as I used to have a disease that did not let me walk much and even today, I also have problems with balance. Good luck and cheers to you and your family

I think this problem could be solved by buying some non slip floor mats. Then your wife we be able to walk and stand in your new house. This might stop her feeling upset and crying. She could also try to buy a new supportive and well gripping pair of shoes. These two ideas would not turn out all that expensive. Good luck to your wife, you and your son.

Hi, You may buy some anti-slip sandals for your wife to wear at home. These anti-slip sandals can hold onto the slippery smooth tiles. They are easily available at any big hypermarkets. Besides they are inexpensive.

Maybe she should use slippers that has a rubber sole so that she can prevent herself from slipping on the floor. My mom's kitchen also has slippery tiles. And so sometimes, i would just take off my slippers so that I am sure I am able to cook without worrying of having a injury.

Well, in essence, after reading your thread, I naturally do to you this question: In this new house, you were there willingly or not? From what I have read it would seem that you are not very satisfied. However I can not give a personal prejudice just reading the discussion. You talked about your wife became very emotional, since you live there, often crying then, in my opinion, is not positive. In this regard, you have any idea to do something to improve this situation?

I feel sorry for your wife. I know how it feels to be immobile. I understand her. Hope your family will avoid kidding her it will just add to her emotions. Stress can trigger all types of illnesses.

Sorry to hear this. your son maybe is playing to hard with his mom. How old is he? Hope things get better there for your wife.

sorry to hear that. we should be considerate and caring to our families who have suffered from diseases. patients are fragile emotionally. it is not your son's fault who didn't mean to. all you have is more time to adjust yourselves to meet new situation and learn to be more considerate to your wife.

sorry friend but I can't seem to have a grasp of the whole discussion, does you wife have some sort of illness? Are the tiles the only problem being slippery? If so then by all means have them replaced, that is if you own the house, simply have them taken out, they would make nice and attractive pieces in your garden, I had our old tiles in the kitchen sink hammered and scattered all over the garden, have them replaced with something that offers more traction! The tiles in our kitchen are quality ones, made in Italy and had been installed since the 80's and my 81 year old mother never had a problem with them since she still cooks for us in the kitchen most of the time, interchanging with my wife
