Ditto for some new mothers’ groups, in my unfortunate experience

My dad would have been a decade or 2 older than yours I reckon, and I remember mum being in hospital when we were kids. All he could cook was scrambled eggs, so we ate that for every meal but breakfast, for 3 days

Also, there are quite a few ok microwave meals around - maybe you could stock up on a few of those for your parents?

That looks good, will have to check it out

No! But I get the gist now, thanks to force lol. That’s hilarious! Will add to watch list

Just re-watched Pulp Fiction, and recently saw Once Upon a Time in Hollywood again, and it really does appear that Quentin has a thing for feet

You’re just in a really outer western suburb… with a much better train system

Lots of helpful suggestions below, and I might also be able to help you out with some household items if you need.

Also, op shops have loads of cheap stuff for when you’re setting up a house, and you can always upgrade it later on.

I’m very sad to hear you’re moving away, but wish you the absolute best with all the things in future

[–] anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Woohoo! Yay you! 🍻

It’s such a difficult situation to be in, and I really sympathise. It must be so hard for your mum dealing with these changes, and for you trying to help her.

Can you subtly suggest the how good Uber (or whatever car system that might work) is? No parking issues, cheaper overall costs, etc.

I remember how hard it was to get my mum to stop driving, and she wasn’t great at it even before age-related decline.
