Frustration

My Mom is the patient and my Dad is her primary caregiver. I usually spend 4 days a week with themto give my dad a break. He had prostate cancer er and went thru radiation treatment for it. All is well bit he is having some lingering effects which makes him sometimes get up every 60-90 minutes to use the bathroom. When this happens, he just wants to sit in his recliner and take a nap mid morning.

My Mother has a fascination with not letting him sleep. At all. If she knows he's trying to take a nap, she goes back there, gets 2 inches from his face and tells him to wake up. If I try to tell her to leave him alone, she tells me to shut up. She will yell for him. Tell him "Don't you dare go to sleep" and anything else she can think of.

Today I physically stood in her way so she couldn't go wake him up. I didnt physically touch her. Just stood in her way and told her that she wasn't going to wake him up and needed to just go sit down and watch Friends.

Luckily she didn't yell for him. And she stomped off. This is every day. There is no redirecting her from this. I'm not looking for anything. Just need to vent.
