Dad and I explode on each other as our frustrations boil over. This was the in very beginning.

I know, Dan. You’re not the only one who has had this problem. It ain’t easy.

OOOOP this is so real!! I love it!!

One thing you have to know is never argue with anyone who has dementia this behaviour is going to happen again and again it only gets worse

My key still looks like a car key.

I tried but I just gave up this month. It was my mental health in jepordy. Im sorry I failed 😢 Im on my own. That was like everyday for me 😢

Courageous honesty. Thankyou for being real

You are mean to ur Dad. Imo

❤❤❤❤❤

Why don’t you show him how it works instead of screaming at him? That is just plain ignorant! You my friend are a fool.

THIS was my father and I when he insisted on taking an UBER to the grocery store etc.... (after I realized that he was having a hard time and I couldn't allow him to get someplace and then not get back while stuck I'm at work 50 miles away busy) and I finally told him, IF he could demonstrate how to order an UBER and DO IT RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME THAT VERY SECOND then I'd let him order one to drive him all over the town/city and wherever he wanted to go......And then he said he'd demonstrate it "another time" while arguing for the freedom to allow him to do it. He might could get there but then forget how to work the app to get back. We were talking in circles painfully and this was BEFORE his diagnosis. I thought he was being old, ornery and just difficult but it was more than that. It was THIS! Dementia :(

Make a fake set of keys.

It is very tough sometimes .

Dad said “to hell with it then,you drive “.

Just a wind up.

Wow, how long ago was this? He is aged so much. This is a normal relationship with somebody that’s teaching in the beginning till you figure it out. You’re doing a great job Dan.

Dad is frustrated. Bless his heart . Show him the Key 🔑

Its challenging

Bless him......

AND THERE YOU HAVE IT 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

😂😂😂

He is pissed off 😂

This method doesn't help. Cruel. Makes you feel like a kid.

Way to go Mr Dan God bless you

I see you Dan. Interestingly enough Ed keeps up with you during these challenges. No need to feel badly for challenging him cause he seems to actually gets a charge out of these arguments. Thank you for your consistency and your compassion. 💫

Wow I just couldn't handle it but I think I'd have explained that this is 2025 and it is new tech but you done so well. Did you end up getting him to understand did you show him how it worked? Poor man he really must get so confused it'd be so scary for him. Dan you really are patient ❤

I love this

You were such a brat!!! I know because I've been there!

Lol he wants to drive so bad ❤

❤

So why didn't you tell him the new technology today with cars they do not have keys anymore. Show him how it works so he will understand that he does not drive anymore

It’s okay Dan. Everyone has to release their frustration at some point. Seems like you both released it on each other.
It made you closer I’m sure.

I am my husbands caregiver and it’s been 8 years my mama just went home to be with Jesus I was blessed to take care of her the last days of her life

12 years with my mother in law very trying times but so worth every second I truly love how your family loves thank you I didn't feel so along seeing your videos THANK YOU so much for sharing them with us.

😮😮😮😮😮

It’s a big learning experience. Same here with my Dad, except he’d swing that came of his. In time, we all learned how to handle him, what words that triggered him, and how to talk him down. But man…those first few years was all learning experience. We all miss him mom so much….

I totally understand that it’s nearly impossible to change their mindset. My mother has dementia.

I'm sorry.. but lmaooooo at when was the last time you drove? .. and him pressing his lips and turning around 😂

I’m caregiver to my son of 23. It’s so hard. It’s not just kids of parents , that have to be caregivers. We have to worry our kids will probably out live us. It’s so frightening.

God bless this man , thiss a fine man , shame God would let this happen to such an amazing soul

Aww I know it was so hard I’m sorry You’re wonderful and we understand

I so understand this type of argument my mom’s diabetic. She will get angry sometimes and tell me that she wants sugar or certain foods with sugar. I will give her a small portion of it later she’ll feel crappy all show her on a fingerstick that her blood sugar has spiked, and she can avoid this if she stops asking for high sugary food. The next day, she won’t remember our conversation and it could happen again.

I am sorry but this is funny kkkkkkk

Don't agree with your attitude to him

He is wise somehow he knows his instincts is convincing him otherwise wow good ideas Dan ,I am a caregiver 🇹🇹

God bless you down it is hard it is incredibly hard I've dealt with it with my grandmother who we lost at 96 but yeah she has yelled at me cussed me out left and right unfortunately I do not speak to my mother she is 81 and she definitely inherited the stubbornness from her mother but yes my grandmother was about early eighties when she hit somebody in a a street that was crossing the street she didn't hit them hard she kind of bumped them because she didn't see them and that was the point where her car was sold and no more driving for her because her license was taken away your dad has had his license taken away because he has dementia but they are so stubborn

We have the same key to our Jeep that's the way keys are today Grandpa so it's been years since he is driven

Omg

You're mean

Wo God bless you for your strength, love and patience.
