i recently moved in with my dad after my mum passed away, he went from being alone to our lot descending, in that it was me the hubby, 2 teenage sons, 2 dogs and 3 cats going from 4 bedrooms to 2 it has been a rollercoaster i can tell you !
i found reading some other members discussions enlightening you really do feel you are the only one in the situation dont you ? how does anyone cope with this lot ? i am struggling with trying to keep dad upbeat, the boys happy [now that they need to share a room again after 8 years of not having to !] my husband from stopping drinking {yeah he is an alchoholic woohoo !!!] a full time job and a house to run ? plus a social life ha ha what a joke i cant even go to the loo but the door gets chapped oh and yes to crown it all my disabled shower is blocked so when you go for one it floods the kitchen, nlc workers at their best fitterd it wrong !!!!!
on that cheery note thankyou to anyone or no-one for reading ithis i feel so much better getting this off my chest now does anyone have a magic wand ?????????????? have a nice day

Fri 15 Aug 2008 13:27hi betty
well im sorry but my wand has just about run out of magic im afraid
but as for social life
whats on of those? 
iv eonly just about had time to get to Tesco for food shopping 
i think the fact that the dogs told hubby (who i care for) that they were starving that did it 
me and kids could have starved ive recently moved into a specially adapted house (how F**king wrong was that) and have now been told that it isnt really good enough for us
ive got no hot water as boiler bust last sunday and new part aint even been ordered yet 
oh well just so that you know we are all the same and fell exactly the same. hope ive cheered you up a bit - its sometimes nice to know you aint alone.
take care

Fri 15 Aug 2008 16:50there is certainly one thing you do have thats a great sense of humour. That's something most carers have to have or we would just sink and no one would be there to rescue us
