That's what I do part time with disability and still dont make enough to pay monthly Bills. I wrote a post a week ago ranting about my clients bitch daughter. She was a total psycho!!! The new daughter who took over is way better so far but has me doing a ton of cleaning. I am truly grateful shes not as crazy as the bitch that was there last week. I dont like that I'm judging her but I'm just expressing how she treated me like garbage! So I came in this monday and said to the new daughter it was nice to meet her and that however she wanted things done I'll do. So far shes totally laid back unlike the psycho. So going daily is much easier than last week that's for sure! Thanks for letting me post. I feel like this site and the super kind ppl on here are like a family so god bless you all💜

Hello No 2 siblings are the same. Thank Heaven for that.

I don't understand why this daughter doesn't pitch in and help you though.

I have known people that myself and others have helped and when they die you suddenly find out they have a family who sob during the funeral.

Glad you are a good person to do what you do.

Love and hugs

Like you said thank God this sister I get along with perfectly. But she said after her 2 months the bitch returns and I know I'll be quitting cause in no way will I be abused by that bitch for doing nothing wrong!! Caregivers get 10 to 11 dollars an hour so getting paid shit and to have to be abused by that bitch ain't going to happen!! When I started I only had to deal with her for a week and by Friday yes I was beyond close to telling her to f..k off. I dont want to blow up and lose my job. I will call my agency for the second time to tell them I just cannot get constantly bitched at for doing nothing wrong. Thank you for your kind words.

You are correct by explaining to the agency because it is not the lady you are caring for, it's her darned daughter.

I would say that I am only flesh and blood and it's getting so hard to be around her daughter.

I still don't understand why either of them don't do anything. I cared for my mum but I was younger and fitter then.

I cared for my elderly friend but it was easier because I only went there twice a week but saying that I loved him and he loved me.

Keep in touch and I agree about the rubbish money.

People working in care facilities should get paid more.

Yes we dont get enough an hour to survive on. 10.75 is all I make! It's a damn shame!!! That's cool you helped your mom. Very kind of you cause most families dont do that. Cool too about your friend. Your a kind soul!!! The daughters do a lot for their mom. I mostly just go in and clean for an hour and chill the rest of my time there. I'm supposed to give her breakfast but her daughter has been doing it. This daughter is the best. My client has a gigantic family so they all pitch in or come stay with her a month or two to care for her.

There truly has been cause the nice sister I get along with perfectly. It makes going there stress for to a point. But she said her bitch sister will be back in two months. I doubt I'll be able to keep the job cause I will not put up with constant bullshit!!!

Lol I do feel like a trooper taking constant shit from the evil sister but Ingrid and I get along great. I was beyond close to saying f..k you bitch to the evil one and wanted to just walk out get a better job which will happen when she comes back for a month. I just cant stand her at all but Ingrid Is wonderful. Tired of the job anyways. Itll take everything in my power to stick it out.

It will for two months but the lunatic sister I just cant cannot stand will be coming back after Ingrid leaves. Ingrid is super cool. When the lunatic comes back shes so conceited but really shouldn't be. Total egotistical horrible person. Said I had attitude which I didn't I would of loved to scream at her. I'll lose the job when she comes back cause we are opposites so huge problem. Ingrid gets along with me and theres no problem her and I. I'm actually enjoying her company.

Does Ingrid talk about her sister?

I ask because I have an evil brother and I got the police to finish with him.

In 1998 when mum died finally I could cut him off completely.

But I hope you are coping and I still don't understand why health workers are not paid a lot.

She hasn't mentioned her bitch sister cause I could care less about her. I am so sorry for your loss of your mom!!!❤❤ I have a brother to and I think hes a dick saying I can call or talk anytime I need to but it's the opposite!!! I dont get along with him whatsoever!!! Hope you dont have to see or hear from your brother if hes that evil!! I too will never understand why caregivers get paid less than every other job on the planet!! I cant afford to survive each month. My mother is constantly put money in my acct. Life sucks so bad! I get along with Ingrid my clients daughter. Shes totally awesome. She gave me about 40 pounds of food to take home today. Half I cant eat cause I'm a very picky eater. The thought that she did that for me is beyond a blessing!!

I'm glad she gives you food. My brother doesn't know where I live as I moved 6years after mum died.

8years ago his daughter contacted me on Facebook and as much as I love her I had to deactivate my account cos I know HE put her up to it.

She's happy so I know she doesn't need me.

Take care and post again if things get too much.

You can message me privately if you prefer

My mother doesn't want a caregiver in the house. Caring for the elderly is an open-ended mission. When you take care of an infant, you realize that in a few years he will be more independent, and all the difficulties are temporary. This is not the case with the elderly. Things will get more complicated over time, and no one can say how long you will have to be a caregiver - a year, two years, or 15 years. She doesn't understand that and wants me to quit my job and stay home with her. It's crazy. At homecareassistance.com/palm... we were offered a caregiver who would be there for her at all times, but she doesn't want one. Mom just doesn't want to accept help and help. The psychologists have already talked to her. What to do?
