How Taking Care Of An Elderly Parent Affects Your Marriage
- By

The phone rings at all hours
Elderly parents can become rather needy. They worry often. They become set in their routine and if their day nurse is running ten minutes late, they may call you in a panic. Elderly parents also wake up very early—often several hours earlier than you do—which means they might call at 6 in the morning, waking up you and your partner, because they don’t like the way their new nurse makes their breakfast. This sleep deprivation can put a strain on your marriage.
