I kind of like to say that I give crappy time:) I enjoy watching movies where many people would say that is not quality time because I should be jogging, volunteering or doing something I really don't like doing. I spend time with my mom and I am glad to go...but also glad to leave. Sounds cruel but it's hard to see someone you love not reallly there with you...dementia is nasty.
