Do we accept the arguments that come with my mother’s hearing loss, or persuade her to do something about it?

She says she has perfect hearing. But she doesn’t! Eg It forever leads to arguments as she blames others for not speaking clearly or having a strong accent. She doesn’t hear stove timers or her phone pinging unless she’s standing right besides them. She says of course she doesn’t hear them when she’s a room away (never mind my dad or I have to tell her they’re pinging when we’re three rooms away.

Do we have to live with constant arguments (she’s insistent it’s never “her fault” she didn’t hear something) or is there a way to persuade her to get her hearing tested, and the further step of her actually wearing hearing aids?

I know the first answer is Don’t Try. But I’m invested! How best can I manage wrapping the yarn as I unravel and then use it (probably 3 strands at a time) to avoid tangles? Thank you!

I’m trying to imagine a pattern that looks like a skirt the whole way round but has pants underneath. Does such a thing exist? What words/sort of pattern should I be searching for?

Thanks!

I don’t know where else to share the laugh so posting here…I just turned 40(F) and the algorithms are going all out pushing me perimenopause things. Lol that ship long sailed. AI still has some work to do to keep up with the life of an AML and SCT survivor!
