My mum will not listen

[WhatAboutMeeee]

I'm really upset. She will not listen. She is going out shopping everyday, not just one shop but walking around the precinct.
I've told her stories about how it is spread, people who catch it and she just will not listen. She thinks because she has wipes she I'll be okay.

If she really won’t listen, you’ll just have to detach a bit mentally.

I assume you’ve sent her links, shown her stories etc?

My elderly, vulnerable, asthmatic FIL gives zero fucks. DH rang him and told him he obviously wouldn’t be visiting for awhile. FIL said “oh well if you’re in the area there’s no harm in popping in!”.

2x SIL both dumping their kids on him to look after every day while they go to work in high contact roles.

I’ve given up. At least we won’t be the selfish fuckers that kill him.

If she catches this and ends up in hospital how does she feel about having a “Do Not Resuscitate” put on her?

I've sent videos and told her what is happening in Spain and Italy and she just says in need to stop watching the news. I have shown the new hospital they are building in London. I'm so angry and frustrated that she will not listen

I'm having exactly this struggle with someone, it's so exhausting. She's still going out all over the place (age nearly 80) and wants DH to go and do a few jobs for her - she said it'll only take a few hours!!She just doesn't want to know.

My mum is the same , she is on her own and I get she is bored and sad ( she suffers from depression anyway ) but she just won't bloody stay in... she is in her 70's and had cancer this year .. I have had to tell her that she is on her own if she gets unwell but she is getting her paper everyday and driving around .. what can you do ??

I'm having the same with my in-laws. The government told them they can go out for exercise everyday so they are. They are both late seventies, one has MS. They live in a rural area so drive to a more populated place to exercise.

They have two and a half acres of flat garden to walk around in FGS.
I offered to shop for them but was told I'd make myself ill running round after other people.
