Old doesn't equal Right.

I hate this one woman's logic on how CPH works!

It isn't a nursing home, it's mostly independent living plus 1 staff person at all times. So, like a nursing home, we have a notebook that we have to record EVERYTHING the ladies do. Well, when they leave/come back or if someone is here for them or if someone is here for the home's maintenance.

The woman's logic is that, if a lady leaves the home without telling someone, and say that lady doesn't eat meals at the home, that it doesn't matter if you write down that she is gone or not.

My logic is like this: We have this notebook specifically to record the ladies' activities throughout the day. If someone leaves and doesn't tell you, you need to remind them about why we need to know. I don't care if she doesn't eat meals with us, I still need to know to EXPECT her home so that if something dreadful happened and she didn't come home and didn't call, I would know to take other action. If I don't know that she's gone, and she never comes home, I don't know if anything's wrong. And then, it's this woman's fault for not letting me know in the first place and that's on her.

It's like talking to a brick wall when I try to explain to the woman why I need to know, but of course she's stubborn and old and thinks that she's always right about everything and that she knows best. Just because I'm young doesn't mean I'm stupid - I have reasons for why I feel the way I feel and why I think the way I think. Plus it's a rule anyway, why are YOU so privileged to break it?
