Your parent may not always be kind
Elderly and sick parents aren’t always nice. Their worlds become very small. All they really think about is their ecosystem, between their nurse, their entertainment, their health and their comfort. And you can’t blame them—they’ve been out of the busy world of work and parenting and socializing for a long time. So there will be times it seems like they are impatient, selfish and even rude to you. There will be times they seem entirely unaware of what you and your partner are going through, or all the work you put into taking care of them.
