Description:
The Ambivalent Daughter: Memoir of a Conflicted Caregiver, is the compelling story of a mother and daughter struggling to adjust after the mother has a severe stroke. Suddenly Bethanie is faced with the need to assume responsibility for the care of her octogenarian mother who has become completely disabled. The two strong, independent women have never gotten along which complicates matters. Gertrude needs total care and moves to a nursing home near her daughter. Bethanie is a professor who is dedicated to her career and her husband. Gertrude is angry and despondent about how her life has turned out. She finds she has lost all her independence in the residential setting where everything is lockstep. Bethanie visits her mother daily to keep her spirits up and oversee her care. She observes nursing home practices that do not serve the best interests of her mother and becomes a fervent advocate for changes in the care her mother receives. She insists that her mother's emotional needs be addressed and as well as her medical ones and that more individualization of care be implemented. Through her reflections on the past, the reader gains insight into the reasons for her ambivalence. She feels increasingly torn between the needs of her mother, her husband, and her career and begins to show signs of stress and depression. Her only sibling lives in Canada, and she feels frustrated that she cannot be more involved in her mother's care causing dissension between the sisters. Bethanie's husband is supportive, but Bethanie feels guilty about how much time has been taken from their relationship by her mother's needs. The action takes place over one y

Husband approved
Color: Khaki, Size: X-Large
I got this one for my husband too, and it is a really nice shirt. It has that classic Oxford look that works for a lot of situations, whether he is wearing it for work, dinner, church, or just trying to look a little more put together. The fabric feels comfortable but still has enough structure that it does not look sloppy. It is not stiff or scratchy, and the fit looks good on him without being too tight. I also like that it holds its shape well and does not seem like it will need a ton of fussing to look decent after washing. The style is simple in the best way. It pairs easily with jeans, chinos, or dress pants, so it is one of those shirts that can go a bunch of different directions depending on what he wears it with. Another solid husband shirt. Comfortable, clean-looking, easy to style, and definitely something he will actually wear.

Great Fit for Tall Men — Comfortable and Stylish
Size: 18.5" Neck 35"-36" Sleeve, Color: Cameo Blue
I bought the Van Heusen Men’s Tall FIT Dress Shirts in Poplin because it’s hard to find dress shirts that fit well for taller men. The fit is excellent — long enough in the sleeves and body, yet still tailored and comfortable. I especially like the blue color, which looks sharp and professional. I have already purchased multiple shirts and would definitely buy more. Very happy with these. Key Features: Tall fit designed for men with longer torsos and sleeves Classic poplin fabric for a smooth, crisp look Long sleeves with button cuffs Traditional button-down front Easy-care fabric, machine washable Available in multiple colors for versatility Modern, tailored fit that isn’t too loose Disclaimer: This review reflects my personal experience only and is not professional fashion or sizing advice. Individual fit and comfort may vary.

22" neck With good length sleeve relaxed and bent
Size: 22" Neck 37"-38" Sleeve, Color: Flame
22" neck With good length sleeve relaxed that didn't walk up forearm when arm was bent. For a fitted shirt. 22" neck was true to size but the waist is still quite large. Even with creative folding it was noticeably large waisted. Fabric is high quality and vivid color that should last. Price is Fair and a good value for this shirt. Buttons fit easily into the holes but are secure and won't come out too easily.
