My parents are 69 and 72, they usually shop every other day. Myself and my sister have been shopping for them. We tell them they have to think ahead and make lists of food they need. They can’t seem to get it... My mum insisted I went to 4 different shops the other day 1/

I was very uncomfortable, especially as one of them was for non essentials (a pork pie and another was for a birthday card) I’ve now said I will only shop for her on my fortnightly home delivery and drop it round to their house. 2/

This just didn’t seem good enough and now my mum is really unhappy with me. I feel awful... but what can I do?! I have an asthmatic partner and diabetic step son and can’t be exposing them to insane shopping strategies.3/3
