This is just the beginning she might get worse with her mouth my Mom did you will just have to learn to over look it and cry about it when your alone thats what i did Now Mom just sits there doesnt really talk any more
Now i wish she was being rude
As for the food as long as you know she ate dont worry about what she tells someone else but it will get worse my mom eats only because i feed her if you ask her if she wants to eat or if she's hungry she always says no
It is the dementia
Remember once a man/woman
twice a child
This is happening to your Mom she is going backwards back into childhood just prepair yourself and educate yourself on this disease its a lot and you will have to HAVE patience and LOVE FOR YOUR MOM

My husband loves sweets and if we have cookies he keeps eating them until they are are gone...but when I ask how many he had, he always says he only ate one.

I don’t buy cookies very often, but I did figure out how to keep him from eating so many. I put them all in small Ziploc bags, three in each bag. The bags are put up in one of the cupboards. From time to time, I just hand him some and tell him I have a treat for him. He’s happy with that.😋

Hi nkyrph...mom has no control over what she thinks or says and forgetting re food because of the Alz brain cell damage...it's not rude ( a deliberate behaviour ) but common Alz behaviour. There is no use trying to reason with mom but books and online sites have tips about how to deal with very hurtful verbal behaviours. I really make use of my book 36 Hour Day when hubby shows a new demented behaviour but thankfully hurtful talking hasn't happened so far.

My mother tells my sister that I don't ever feed her. Of course, my sister and I talk about everything when it comes to mom. She knows that i do feed her and sometimes feed her twice in the span of a couple of hours because she insists she hasn't eaten. Try not to give her things that are to heavy or dense. BUT yes it is hurtful. It is a shock to hear your own mother telling others that you are the evil one. She does make rude conversation and talks about rude things. Talks about people being fat, lazy, thieves. (sigh) It is the disease. I am sorry to say that i don't have any solutions only kinship, that we struggle with the same things during these times in our lives. I tell my family that she is part of my cross into heaven... I don't know if you are religious. Blessings on your journey!

I have to ration all the food. I have found places to hide extra items. I put so many cookies, apples, oranges and reeses peanut butter cups in a place for him. If they go too fast which they do, I don't refill them for a while. He gets up in the night and raids the fridge and cupboards. Our grandson loves ramen noodles, I finally had to hide them because I kept finding packages of them in my husband's room!
