I was reading other posts and everybody seems so loving of each other, it made me feel like the lone stranger. I don't know if I should be saying bad things about my ward. I feel like I'm gonna get struck by lightening or something. But I'll risk it because I need to vent!
Don't anybody stand too close now. I take care of my Mother in law because, quite frankly, she has chased everybody in her bloodline off. She treats everybody like they are totally incompetent, and believes everybody is out to steal from her. As a matter of fact, to hear her tell it, everybody who's ever been in her house has stolen from her. And she is really of sound mind! One day when she was telling me how to do some mundane task, I just stopped what I was doing and asked "Mom, do you realize I'm almost 50 yrs old?" Her response was to tell me that her (whatever) household item was "delicate". Like, I've never washed laundry before in my life!
I moved in with her because we couldn't afford a full time caregiver, she is on Hospice care, but they just come and go and she can't be left alone all night (can't walk, on oxygen) However, my husband refused to move there. So I am stuck going back and forth between two houses trying to take care of everything and on top of that I'm working full time, my husband is sick, and so am I! Ok, I feel much better now. . . thanks for listening.
Bye for now
