Today I am at my moms helping look after my Grandpa, I am baking for him, making sure he takes his meds, and cleaning for my mom. I have been helping look after my grandfather for a while now.And was informed last night that I will be needed all day everyday. I love spending time with him, but I get so tired taking care of two homes, and taking careof DD and her issues. Taking Care of my own pets, my moms. Walking two dogs, upwards of 4 times a day. My own and my moms. I am on disability and as much as I love my mom and grandfather sometimes I feel like because I am not working right now well I try and work my issues out that I am being taken advantages of. I also do her yard work and she just told me when the snow comes that she will need me to shovel.
Don't get me wrong most of the time I don't mind helping out but it would be nice to be asked instead of told. And when I asked my mom or my sister who I also help out all the time if they would give me a break from DD for a day or overnight they both laughed at me and said yeah right. My mom is well aware of DD's issues and knows of course that I am a single mom is it too much to ask for help and excpect it when I am helping out all the time?
