We had drinks with EH at Boey's last night, (and met Morganne and Ted there) Belinda couldn't bring herself away from her parents, going beyond the call of duty so she missed out on a lovely evening. We felt bad about it as we have been and still are in a similar situation. Sam bore the brunt of it with my father - it was a depressing chore to look forward to, with nagging from mom, acting out and anger from my father. I had forgotten until Sam brought it up last night as we all took a minute and sympathised with Belinda.
We have mom over to the house now as we babysit her, she's never violent she doesn't complain about the food and drinks we give her - I made her a papaya and passionfruit smoothies which she declined at first making a face, then drank with a smile. She's mostly happy to be with us - today calling out to Sean upstairs asking him down for something to eat. (I was shocked about how soft her voice had become, she couldn't shout). She can be annoying with her endless cycles of questions, but we give slightly different answers each time and that keeps us from getting bored.
Tomorrow she'll be back in the afternoon, we plan to take her to the mall in her push chair. A change of scene for everyone.
