I’m going through something similar with my parents. The frustrating part hasn’t been the forgetting, it’s more not trying to work around it.
I keep telling them to write things down if there are verbal plans being made, will remind them etc. then sometimes they just never do even if I chase a bit, or they’ll write down the wrong thing or the plans will have changed and I’m not told and it just causes a whole mess.













I lost my job a good paying few months back and losing insurance, even with like a year of Cobra left, was the scariest part of that.
Fortunately I got a new offer so shouldn’t have to worry about navigating the public market myself. The startups I interviewed at were all complaining about how nuts their health insurance payments were.
