Sitting here feeling really down. As you know I care for my Mum and she is quite difficult. Now she finally agreed a few weeks ago to have some care from an agency as she need help washing and dressing. I dont mind helping her dress but dont really want to wash her ( does that sound mean?). Anyway got the agency started and at the meeting a 10.00a.m. call time was suggested but Mum said 10.30 to 11.00 a.m. It worked ok for the first 2 weeks and they came and showered and dressed her. However if they offered to make a cup of t or brush her hair she just said no my daughter will do it when she comes later. But they were good and suggested she needed cream on her legs ( which we had in the cupboard anyway) and when I read the notes all seemed well.
But after Sunday last week she got herself up and dressed before they came ( and said she had washed - but I know she had not) so basically they care coming for nothing. Now a couple of times they have been late ( due to weather I presume) and she is now moaning and saying she wants to cancel it. When I said that maybe an earlier start was needed she just told me it was non of my business.
I am living on carer's allowance and a bit of money from her and am struggling and for what. Both my sisters and one brother are away either working or on holiday and the other one only bothers with her when he needs money.
I usually go 2 or 3 times a day, do housework, sort her meals, all her paperwork, all the washing, take her to appts etc.
When I told her I was off out shopping she just said " Of course you are!". She is not mobile and we have to use a wheelchair when she goes out and my shopping trips are my escape. Am I being selfish. Dont know what to do and I have no one to talk to. My DD and OH are kind of sick of the whole thing as it seems to be swallowing my life and after I just seemed to get some life of my own when OH left and sorted himself out it seems to be going pearshaped again.

hello hun firstly

YOUR ARE NOT SELFISH REPEAT AFTER ME I AM NOT SELFISH

everyone needs a break other wise you will crack up . i think having the care will help things along but dose take time to get used to so i wuld just try keeping them bit longer ,

Glad i made you laugh, cause of where we live we dont have much storage and our bed is a divan without drawers so nothing can go under there, but believe me the new bed will have storage under it!
Hubby said the other day bloomin hell, you have stash everywhere :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: he dont mind when hes eating it!!

she did say buy in twos

Yes...

Buy in twos to get the first one for 80p
Meaning the second one becomes 40p

Meaning it is £1.20 per two you buy
Meaning it is 60p each
