Do u find urself having to push ur parent for things they should take initiative for?
Honestly, I'm fed up with my mom cos she doesn't take responsibility like she did when we were younger and I find myself reminding her to do her own things. She got an application for a job she need and I ran after her to fill it up for 3 months before she finally did. Now she has another important form that will cost her almost $700 if she missed the deadline and she won't call unless I remind her to. As a side point she paid for the form. She is so annoying I just feel like I'm having to guide her thru something I shouldn't do. Plus she doesn't listen to advice on how things should be done. I told her that I'll never remind her about it again and she should get ready to pay another fee cos I'm done. I feel like she's being irresponsible but I don't have to push her cos it's her life. She's not old she's in her late 50s. She barely started saving thanks to me! She gets her pay check and the money goes as it comes until I told her she had to save cos she needed one she still didn't get it! So I had to talk to my aunt and my aunt told me to keep her debit card and help her save so now she agreed and she's saving. I could care less cos I'll not have to live with her forever and it's her life but I care. But now I feel like I should care cos I just want her to learn her lesson! Pls do not judge me for being a little hard on her cos as for te savings she like the fact that she's saving. She also knows I don't spend her money I give her the card when she needs it and I told her that when she's ready to have her card back she can. But she said I can have it saved for her. What do u think is wrong with her? Is she unmotivated? She's just not putting effort into things she used to like 5-7 years ago. I remind her that in 2 yrs I may not be with her to do all this for her so she needs to learn how to cos hopefully I'll have my own life and be married. Enough of my ranting! TYPING ON MY PHONE sorry for the punctuation
Blue planet and Wonder Woman: I wanna give u two a HUG! I feel the exact way cos I think something is wrong with her. When I tell her someth she would ask like a hundred times and I'll tease her about having Alzheimer's. The bad part is that she doesn't talk about her feelings and my aunt also feels something is wrong with her. I don't know what to do cos I can't tell her in her face that something is wrong with her. Thanks dears!

Blue Planet is correct. She needs to see a doctor. Though she is not THAT old, she is almost 60. Dementia, being senile, Alzheimer's it all can start as early as 50. My mother is 56, and has to have post it notes EVERYWHERE just to remember things. Even to remember to grab the car keys before she leaves. I'm almost to the point of worrying of her living alone if it wasn't for the fact she's so good with money still, can drive and hold down a steady job and take care of herself. Talk to your mom. Tell her you're worried and want her to go to the doctor, and get your family's help as well. Good luck.
