E22: She's just trying to help!
E23: She's (stressed, tired, hungry, thirsty, has dry skin, etc. etc.) so she's not responsible for what she says.
E24: You are just looking for things to be mad about!
E25: She doesn't understand

When DH would say E24, I would tell him that I don't have to look very hard, do I?

When he would say E25, I would tell him that she understands perfectly well, and if she doesn't , she needs to be in a full-care facility - not a rehab, but a nursing home. He didn't like that too much.
