| Family Caregiver |
What do you do when your sister mandates that you have to care for your mother, while sis is off traveling the world? Half the time for work, the other half for pleasure. She says there is no money to have more nurses care for mom. I am tired? Haven’t had a full week off in two and half years. One of the nurses and I share nights with my mom. I sent an email saying “I resign.

Agreed. I never thought I was vain until I had a mastectomy at age 39. I was devastated and told the doc I wanted to wake up with implants. Now at age 60, I am lopsided and wondering if I was just avoiding the inevitable. You get what you get and you
Sounds very interesting.Spike, you are awesome! Love your perspective, thanks for sharing.I will turn 53 in 6 weeks and still break out.
May I also assume that your skin is still quite oily and shows no or very few wrinkles? If so...

YOU BETTER DO SOMETHING QUICK! DON’T FEEL QUILTY OVER YOUR DECISION. MY MOTHER MADE HERSELF DISABLED SO SOMEONE WOULD HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF HER THE REST OF HER LIFE. DIDN’T SAVE ONE DIME. MY SISTER, THE YOUNGEST HAS A HOUSE AND ASK ME TO MOVE tHERE WHEN MY MOTHER WAS ABLE TO WALK AROUND AT WILL. HOW i’M THERE WITH ONE DAUGHTER, GROWN NOW, SO YOU WOULD THINK ONE OF MY SISTERS THERE’S 3 MORE WOULD TAKE TURNS. ONE SAID SHE ASK MOTHER, BUT HER DOCTORS ARE HERE AND SISTER LIVES IN SOUTH CAROLINA. WHAT IF HER DOCTORS DIED HERE, GET A NEW ONE. MOTHER IS VERY MANIPULATIVE. BEING OLD ALLOWS YOU TO PLAY THE VICTIM BETTER. THE TEARS FLOW FREELY. WHEN NO ONE IS LOOKING, DOES WHAT SHE WANTS. HIP REPLACEMENT, YET EVER EXERCISED TO STRENGTHEN IT. WHEEL CHAIR. THAT CHOICE IS WICKED. IF PUSH COMES TO SHOVE, NURSING HOME! TEARS WILL FLOW HOW I LOVE MOM, BUT I WILL NOT TAKE CARE OF HER. GET YOUR LIFE BACK IF YOU CAN. YES, I STILL GO OUT AND LEAVE HER THERE SHE MANAGES VERY WELL, OR SHE WILL CALL MY SISTER IN NEW JERSEY AND SHE WILL TRAVEL OUT. I DON’T CHANGE MY PLANS FOR HER. BEFORE ANYONE SAYS ANYTHING BECAUSE SHE IS A MOTHER, CHECK THAT YOU DON’T DO THE SAME. WHAT KIND OF PERSON ARE YOU BEFORE YOU BECAME MOM? I WANT MY DAUGHTER TO HELP ME WHEN I CAN NOT, NOT WHEN I WILL NOT! IMO
