Yorkshire Man has had to revert back to Parker. In these strange and difficult times Parker has returned as gofer and general dogsbody. Or so he seems to think.
For all those out there those that have a person who helps out and looks after your everyday needs, Parker was considering a Facebook page to communicate with other partners, spouses, friends and carers. Those who give up their free time to do things for us like shopping so both can eat, cleaning so we don't turn in to hoarders and live in a hovel under mountains or rubbish meant for the bin and junk we just might need sometime in the future. Then there is the washing so we don't look or smell like street people and odd jobs like painting the house or basic DIY jobs.
For Yorkshire Man these are the jobs that normally get done by the Fairies. When the Fairies are not capable Parker has to step in. He understands the nagging moaning and complaining about half a job done is just the way appreciation and love is shown by the Grumpy miserable old Troll in his care.
The main problem with the Parker Forum is that he doesn't understand in any way shape or form social media or its function and importance in everyday life. Especially no during social distancing. He also has no intention of learning about it either.
Next is he doesn't understand or like other people, so any form of communication is abhorrent, pointless and boring. Unless of course it involves Sky Rats or there is a health and safety risk, like for example something that is hazardous to health that may involve the Fairies and a negative outcome.
When asked to do something the usual answer is "It on my To Do List." or " Yes just getting to that".
When your house bound 24/7 you get a little bit testy. You see all the little tiny pointless jobs that if they don't get done didn't matter when you could ignore them by going out. So nagging at half or no job at all, gets a to be a daily conversation with the only real person you have contact with. No good nagging on Zoom they switch you off.
I wouldn't mind but I let him got out to work 8 hours a day for a rest. He is a key worker and has no choice but I reckon if someone asked he would still choose that rather that being banged up in here with me all day. Easter will be such fun!
Parker has been getting a little too confident lately coming back with quips like "Well as you are doing nowt all day so why not learn a new skill like DIY. Take it slowly though dont over do it". Fact is if I did touch his "STUFF" and get out of sequence with the "PLAN" the sulking would be a nightmare to listen to. When asked when it might be finished he replies "I think I'm entitled to choose what I do and when. I do work all week".
I may need to do another Life Coaching module to help us through this phase. The Topic would be:
"What is Really Important in Our Life".
Module 1
MEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEME!!!!
Module 2
WORKWORKWORKWORKWORKWORKWORKWORK!!!!
Module 3
The Art of Grovelling for Peace and Quiet
This will serve to keep me in the manner to which I am accustomed. He has to understand just how fortunate he is to have me nag him and keep him on the straight and narrow this is the only way. Trust me I do know what's right for him and all Parkers' out there.
