i live with my grnadparents who are 80 & 81. one has dimentia and the other is often irate and almost never listens to anything anyone says, and loves to complain. i can’t wait till i get out of that house and get a place of my own, but id never write either one of them off, no matter how many times ive had to storm out the house in frustration. they have lived a long time and want to share their experiences. they know they don;t have but so much time left and want to show that they arent just taking up precious oxygen. sometimes theyre also lonely. they dont belong to any groups, dont work (1 retired nurse & 1 ww2 veteran), arent in school, and hove very little means of social activity (most often because people younger than them brush off thier comments). be patient with your g-grand, and like another responder said, set time limits. i’m sure you’ll wish he or she would bother with some stories oncee theyve passed on.
