    In my experience caring for someone properly is a 24/7 thing, which fluctuates wildly - the 35 hour criteria is just a minimum required to claim CA.

    He says his wife has severe Arthritis, which, like any joint problem, is painful and debilitating every day, not just 3 days a week!

    Funny household that must be.

    Lin :doh:

    How can you be so narrow minded to assume that my wife only has problems on the days that I am at home?


    I presume that you have never heard of 'family'?
    They are the people that take over my role when I am not there.


    What a silly post that was made to garner a negative view. Shame on you, but not unexpected.

    I have to admit - I laughed out loud.

    Yeah, I've heard of family, but according to you, your family all live miles away and you are constantly running around helping them!

    Watch you don't all pass one another on the motorway as you all rush back and forth caring for each other.....:rotfl:

    If you, in real life, are anything like your posts suggest, I would assume your wife does have less problems when you are not at home, because if you were my old man, I would be doing cartwheels with the peace and quiet.....:whistle:

    You can tell a lot about a woman by her hands..........for instance, if they are placed around your throat, she's probably slightly upset. ;)

    When have I ever said that my family live miles away?? My late father did, but that has all ended as of last December. The rest of my family all live within a mile of where I live.
