How to get my mother in law to change her pull up in the morning?

I can change my mother in law in the evenings to her pajamas and a clean pull up, but how can I get her to change it in the morning without a full on battle, I have tried gentle reminders, but still nothing 😔

  1. @Hendyvivy, I'm sorry that mornings seem to be a challenge for your mother in law. Do you think it is the clothes she has to put on in the morning (texture, style, comfort)? Maybe she would be more comfortable in clothes that are more cozy? Pajamas tend to be more cozy and maybe that is why it is not an issue to get her into those. Maybe try to get some different outfits and she could try those instead. If she isn't going anywhere, maybe it isn't worth the struggle to get her dressed per see. She could just stay in her pajamas for a little while. However, if she needs to go out, maybe a gentle suggestion of "we need to put these clothes on and then we can do XYZ (and come up with something she really enjoys doing or looks forward to engaging in). I hope this helps. Hopefully, others will weigh in on this subject as well. Blessings and Peace, Kristin Martin, Community Moderator

    1. Thank you for those great tips, we usually let her stay in pajamas a little longer than usual, it is when we know it is full, that she will battle us, we even tried to suggest a shower in the am, it seems that is when she is most active with us. Thank you again 🥰🥰
