If I am not careful I get into circular arguments with Mom. For example:
Me: "Mom, you are going to go and visit Mark and Liz* this weekend."
Mom: "Why do I have to go there?"
Me: "Floyd and I are going to be away and we don't want you to be lonely."
Mom: "You are going to be away? Where will I be?"
Me: "Mom, you are going to go and visit Mark and Liz this weekend."
Mom: "Why do I have to go there?"
And so it goes. I go through that loop about 3 times before I realize I could repeat it all day.
*Nothing against Mark and Liz; They love having her visit and Mom has a wonderful time there. That is not the problem. Mom's memory or lack of one is the problem. She tries to understand but it just eludes her.
