Doesn’t anyone else feel …… ?

Yes, I get enough, and find myself answering in an aggravated, or (worse) sarcastic way. When I do this, I am so ashamed that I can’t seem to have better self-control. Why can’t I keep the compassion going ? I know my husband can’t help it. What day is it, 20 times a day, etc.

@dederickve My writing, above, in response to sunny gardens.

@dederickve how very very frustrating and irritating for you!
Probably at the stage your husband is, he wouldn’t sense sarcasm or impatience anyway.
Many dementia sufferers respond to a smile, no matter what the tone or words, depending on the stage of dementia.
Let me, a sarcastic, blunt, sometimes impatient person, say to you, you’re a GOOD PERSON.
Even Jesus got angry and impatient at times. 😁

I ordered a special digital clock to combat the constant questions regarding what time, day of the week, date, month and year it is. It gives all that info on a readout about the size of a tablet. When my husband asks me those questions I point to the clock.
