Juggling With EggsWhen you read this piece about a mum and her son arguing over her loosing her headphones is there something totally unsaid, both by them and in the comments that seems alarmingly obvious?
I don’t wish to cast aspersions on people over the age of 75…but if you are constantly loosing items and your kids are finding them in increasingly erratic places, then maybe don’t argue over Apple headphones, just get a joint GP appointment.
Eggs now in different baskets.@JugglingWithEggs About 18 months before parent A finally got their diagnosis parent B came home from a long summer holiday abroad to find their home in a bit of a state.
On tidying up parent B discovered parent A's lost driving licence and missing cash card, a bunch of opened bills, plus a total of several hundred pounds of cash hidden under various piles of papers around the house.
Parent B put the cash in a jam jar and used it to buy groceries as parent A was a bit of a tight wad.
@JugglingWithEggs It could also be one of those situations where the elderly parent is lonely and this is a way to get contact with their child/children.
The number of sets of headphones in a few years that have been bought suggests to me that this might be the underlying reason.

Several possibilities for this behaviour, but you're right, a proper check-up is a good idea.
Not necessarily age-related. My cleaner scatters her, my, and her other clients' belongings randomly and she's in her thirties.
A friend reported his car stolen from in front of his house, then remembered he'd driven to work the day before, forgotten it, and gone home by bus. And this before Covid!
