I don't know if any of you have this same issue. My mum doesn't want to do much other than watch TV, but she doesn't really understand a lot of it. Commercials confuse the heck out of her! She constantly asks "why are they doing that", or "how did they shrink that person", or "who could drink that much coffee"? She's really judgemental of everyone/everything on the shows/commercials. "That picture is ugly", "why would she wear her hair like that", "he shouldn't have gotten in that car". It's honestly exhausting. It's non-stop. I want to always stay positive around her, but sometimes I just have to leave the room and scream in a pillow! 🤪🤣 Thanks for listening. 😆😁
