Yes chasing convenience. You actually see a less dramatic version of this bad communication in business settings or in any shared timing and resources arrangement. We all forget to just slow it down and I have rarely in my life once I got in a hurry saved any time or effort.
I definitely find being short & sweet works with mom. She is the sweetest until you insist on something. Her military hubby seems to agitate her w his approach & doesn't understand that it makes her worse. I'm sharing your link. Thank you so much for all the info & support.
As I caregive foemr Lewy Body Dementia are 2) if he sleeps too long he is antagonistic, & 2) hallucinations. Thinks his mom is here and alive (he's 93), or another woman is here.
About stages, the patient has variable function on different days or even same days, and the patient will not be like an average patient in the stage most likely.
I do not give up easily, but I had to leave a dementia client, who made me a target. She was going after me repeating that I am I her house and she knows her things because she was 97 and that she never"had this before", asking me what am I looking for, she could tell me. On the 3rd day she forbidden me to cook, wanted yo cook herself, started on and off the hot plate, boiling souces, taking hot pans, ... I am a new carer for her and she obviously does not want me around her. What my strategy should be? I tried tk be as less as possible in front of her eyes. Did I do wrong, or right by doing this?

My person forgets she’s eaten and is constantly in the refrigerator. Is that a normal behavior?
@sheilalange9683 yes.

Sometimes the task is just not possible to do, reality.
I tend to want to reason.
