Oddbean new post about login | logout We've had two family dramas in the last 12 hours. One on each sides of our family 😬
On my side of the family my cousin seems to think it would be a good idea to bring my elderly aunt with dementia down to Dunedin for two weeks over Christmas and expects all of us down here to take turns hosting her at our houses... He doesn't live in Dunedin, he lives in Central Otago.
It's apparently so bad that she needs to have someone travel with her on the plane. According to my other cousin her short term memory is completely toast, which could be disastrous if she can't remember why she isn't at home in Auckland.
If she is that bad I think it's cruel to do this to her if it may distress her to be out of her home and family that she lives with.
On hubby's side of the family his brother announced that him and his wife, will be moving back to Christchurch next year... Except hubby's mum especially moved up to be close hubby's brothers family, and away from Christchurch after the earthquakes. She recently paid to get into a retirement village with great services as she gets even older... Hubby's mother is going to probably have a meltdown when she finds out 😬
Hubby and I have agreed to just stick our heads in the sand until all this blows over 😆
