>grandma's senile dementia is getting worse by the day >constantly on edge, ready to scream and sperg out at any time, 10x more insufferable than before, the TV is her entire world but she pretends she forgot how to use the remote for attention so you have to babysit her all day >this is the perfect time to get a new dog according to my mother >said yes to avoid triggering a nervous breakdown >already regretting it but the dog will be here in an hour I think I just ruined a dog's life

mental stimulation keeps the mind from rotting tv rots the brain she should go on walks with the dog

@Xeraser@varishangout.net oh no…it’s not really good to force an animal onto someone as a gift…real bad for the animal, it’s a living thing that needs responsible raising…why are women like this?

@professionalbigot69@poa.st grandma stopped going out last year, she can't walk autonomously anymore and she hates dogs

my grandma went on walks, barefoot, and got lost dementia is really messed up, it really turns people into real zombies, the lights are on but nobody is home

by herself?

yeah, at that point we could no longer let her live by herself, since I was a NEET at the time it ended up being my job to look after her while mom and dad were at work

@RehnSturm256@shota.house It's not a gift, mom wanted a new dog since week 1

@BitterPill@poa.st @professionalbigot69@poa.st That's more or less what I've been doing since last November

@Xeraser@varishangout.net oh ok I thought it was similar to something I knew. Still seems like a rough time, but I’m sure it’ll be fine.

@BitterPill@poa.st @professionalbigot69@poa.st we can't move her, shit costs way too fucking much

I can only imagine. I didn't ask my parents how much it cost us but it couldn't have been anything insane else we couldn't afford it. However, I'm pretty sure the conditions in those places really end up being a case of you get what you pay for. There's just no good solution here, a loved one with dementia is just suffering for everyone until they eventually die.
