My Mom "throws stuff around". Is that a normal thing for old people to do?

Or better yet, get busy and let her know you will be doing the dishes and taking out the garbage or cooking her favorite meals - that you are turning over a new leaf. Ask her if she would like a nice glass of juice, lemonade or a cup of tea. "May I get you a snack?" Give me the grocery list and I will do the shopping from now on. Why don't you say, "We never talk. How about we go for a nice walk/drive and spend some time together." Touch her shoulder and give her a hug. Make a point of telling her, "See you later!" and a smile when you leave. Develop a relationship with her and ask her some questions about her life. Tell her how much you appreciate all the things she has done for you and give her a nice bouquet. Make her a cake. Do a little bit at a time, otherwise she will think you are planning to kill her. What are you doing living upstairs when your mother is 78? [/quote] If you are doing all the housework (honestly) and not just shoveling dirty clothes into a heap, then she might have beginnings of dementia. Does anyone talk to her? Why don't you have her ears checked? [/quote] If you respond to strangers online in that tone of voice, I can imagine how you talk to family. You ask a simple question and THEN you fill in all the details. I will pray for your mom. [/quote]

She slams every door - be it fridge, microwave or actual door...she throws utensils in the sink, she throws trash on the ground, missing the trash can.
Like WTF. She's not retarded, as far as I know. Is she just trying to get my attention or something? I'm upstairs and she is SO loud down there.
