ULOG 010: PATIENCE
All of us have grandparents. Living on the same roof, or you are just neighbours. Dealing with them composed of tons patience. They have unpredictable behaviour which yourself can’t understand? Have you ever observe and investigate it? Yes I did a million times. The hardest part on dealing with them they always understand our side wrong and it makes them upset. The reason why? The dos and don’ts for them. Doctors prescriptions. They are like kids having tantrums.
I entitled my #ulog PATIENCE it’s because of my grandmother. She’s living with us, for a long time. She still can walk, can roam around and can do what she wants slowly. Even though her child or my aunt and uncle ask her to live with them and give her pension. She insist to stay with us. To stay with her youngest daughter which is our mama. We are wondering why she refuses. That they have more to offer in terms of food and money. In my point of view, She loves to stay together with my mother because my mama is a good person and let her do whatever she likes, and go wherever she wants, roaming around for the whole day, chat to neighbours, to her friends. Sometimes eat the food in which doctors dis allow her to eat. When shes not feeling well, we take care of her. Offering food and take some medicines. Sometimes my mother get upset and we also her children because she gossips wrong information’s can hit our dignity. Even though we receive information feel us pain, we still give her the 100% respect. We give more patience. We understand growing old is not easy. Even if we can’t take it anymore. Still put a smile in our face. We never hold grudges to her. Honestly we are not like those riches in this world can provide whatever food in the table but we still manages to eat three times a day. Provide medicines cloth and everything basics in our daily living. Yes, that’s why our grandparent wants to stay with us because we can offer not food but we can share love and care to her. Whatever circumstances and behaviour she shows to us.
I can relate. Our grandfather stays with us most of the time. He only goes to his home sometimes. It does take a lot of patience. Sometimes it is unavoidable that there will be burst of emotion, however. We have to remind ourselves always to be more patient.

I found your post thanks to the entry by @leeart.
Want to make a small suggestion. The right photo can help draw people in to looking at your post. Honestly many time I miss posts that don't have a photo as it's so easy to scan right past them. https://pixabay.com/ is a great source for free photos that can be used for commercial purposes (you are making money so it's commercial). Even though pixabay doesn't require it there are some crazy people on steemit that expect you to list your source so it's just easier if you use a pixabay photo to list your source.
I totally get the patencience thing with grandparents. Have both my Mom's parents still alive and living just a couple miles from me. My Grandmother has dementia and from the way things have been looking it's setting into my grandfather. This makes them very trying at times to say the least. Love them dearly, but they do require a lot of patience.
Thank You for the suggestions. I'll visit it. and thank you for reading my work. Appreciate it much @thedarkhorse

I saw this @leeart's wall. I can really relate, not my grandmother but my mother. I take care of her while my 3 brothers are living abroad. She has Alzheimer which is very difficult and you need the patience of a saint. SHe can still do physical things at 93 , we just don't alow her to go out alone.

Hello @tinkerrose, I found your post from @leeart in the Pay it Forward contest this week. I've never had a change to stay with Grandma. I remember that My Belated Grandma was someone who travels a lot. She has 7 children and my Mom is the youngest, but Grandma till the day she passed away, she lived with my mother's sister house because it's the nearest from her own house that time.
and I can see how My nephew and cousins loved to stay with my mother, maybe because my mother not too old and choose to live in her own house. I can feel your situation... and be patience is the only option and deep in your Grandma's heart, She must be love your mama more than her other children.
heeyy... wahy don't you try to ask her something about her past story or being a good listener for her, maybe she'll stop roaming around and stay at home instead?
Thank you for reading. We ask her all the time.
Yes patience and love are key to family, and caring for young and old alike :)

Well love and care is much more important... of course food is needed, but families that share a lot of love will deal with things easier even if there is a lack of food... nice post!
Thank You.
This is such a lovely post @tinkerrose! I loved all of my grandparents and would give anything to have them back. I figure that they spent a lot of time raising and giving to us, that the least we can do is give some of that back.
