Why am I so impatient with my elderly mother? Noticing impatience when caring for elderly parents can be beneficial if you use the experience to set expectations and boundaries. Caregivers can become impatient with an elderly mother due to time constraints, a lack of work-life balance, and competing life priorities. While caregivers live in fast-forward mode, an elderly mother may have nothing to do with her time and expect an adult child to fill the gap of being a caregiver, a friend, and an outlet for social activities and companionship. Becoming impatient with an elderly mother can be positive when family caregivers use this experience to consider other options and possibilities for an elderly mother to receive care and assistance.
