When 19 year-old Dairy Queen manager Joey Prusak was serving a blind customer, he
noticed the man drop a $20 bill. The woman behind the blind man grabbed the $20
bill and put it in her purse.

Prusak took the woman aside and instructed her to return the money, after which she said
no. The teenager made her leave, told her,” Ma’am, you can either return the $20 bill or you
can leave, because I’m not going to serve someone as disrespectful as you”, the woman left.
But when Prusak returned to…

What's the most shocking thing you found in your spouse's possessions?

After my husband passed away from cancer in 2017. I was cleaning out his office space and I
found a letter from his cancer doctor. The letter said that his cancer was terminal and he had
to 4–6 months to live and would remain on chemotherapy until then. I knew my husband
had cancer. And he told me he…

Cared for FIL in my home for 11 years, FT caregiver for SILJun 30

How can an adult child just drop their elderly parent at a retirement home and never
visit or check up on them?
I used to wonder that. I visited nursing homes with my kids and felt so sorry for the old folks
who were very lonely and had no one. There are definitely people who don't deserve to be
abandoned. That's incredibly sad.

Last year my MIL ended up homeless with her adult disabled daughter. We took them both
in, even though we didn't have much space and I have a lot of kids. She's never been
involved in my kids’ lives and never even bothered to learn their names. She hijacks any
event she comes to - if she bothers to come - and makes it about her. She's selfish and did
a terrible job caring for her daughter (serious neglect) for years. While in my home, she was
mean and critical. After a while, we got a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s. Shortly after, we moved
her into an assisted living place. It's a really nice place, and she is finally in a clean, safe place
in her own apartment with food service, laundry, and housekeeping. She gets Medicaid to
cover part of it. She's not footing the bill. And all she does is complain.

We visit twice weekly, despite having a bunch of kids to tend, including a newborn, and her
adult daughter to look after. Our schedule is very busy, but we make it a point to see her.
And she gripes and swears at us the whole time. I believe you could hand this woman the
keys to a Ferrari, and she would complain that the floor mats are the wrong color. She never
appreciates anything. She has turned my family's life upside down, but all she can do is
complain about how we aren't doing enough, don't spend enough time there, and she
hates the food and the people where she is living. It's hard to go see her. I dread going.
She's been negative as long as I've known her, and to be perfectly honest, I totally get why
people would not want to put themselves through visits like that over and over. I'm
wondering if we are nuts to keep trying! And now I see why adult kids might just stop
visiting. Maybe it's a result of years of suffering abuse or bad parenting. Maybe it's a lack of
respect. Or maybe just just get tired of being berated when they visit and eventually stop to
save their sanity.
