If she went to mosque for religious classes, she would not be doing this. Obviously you need to go to mosque some Fridays and learn how your mouth can be smellier than your backside.
if she go out shopping , she would not be doing this too.
The point is you bunch , the ladies, like to cover from head to toe, some even only show their eyes.. but at home slap their own mother in the face.. pls lah.. just go out naked lah, why need to cover everything until like chinese dumplings.
Tan Chuan Jin was right...............if the old woman had been collecting garang guni, daughter no chance to slap her liao............also with the exercise, old woman wouldn't be so frail.............
You are right that the old lady is probably senile. However, it is not right to treat them like babies,
It takes extreme anger to slap one's own mother. Such anger can be caused by the individual shitting everywhere, playing with shit, throwing or damaging valuable stuff.... Usually it started off with verbal threats or light slap to control the senile' behaviour. Slowly, as the illness got worse, so will be the violence.
Senile old folks cannot be disciplined like children. They won't understand a thing when the illness kicks in. Unlike children, a senile's fear, when threatened, is only for that moment and they will be back to their "mischieves" immediately. More frustrating, they can behave normally again all of a sudden. They can really drive the caregivers up the tree.
