Sometimes I come across too hard, but my heart is in whatever I say to you.
This is how I feel about being a caregiver:
first, the people we love are sick and not very happy about it, and second, we don’t know how much time any of us have left. So anything goes, unless it is harmful to them.
A new motto: Let’s enjoy as much as we can, for as long as we can. Hugs!!

I had another thought. You said if he insisted about wearing pajamas you would let him. But, he had already had them on when you told him to change into his other clothes. The fact that he put on the pajamas shows that is what he wanted. Do you understand the difference between him insisting on something or that he had already shown what he prefers, and letting it be?
Just a thought! Hugs!!
