Back in 80s left Piedmont airlines to take of Mother. She passed in 89. People thought it so easy just to take care of someone. 1st there didn't leave house for 3 months. It is hard people have no idea. For you care takers thumbs up. I give u big credit thx for ur work.
I remember grumbling at work about driving my parents all over hill and dale. One co-worker said "don't forget your parents drove you all over the place when you were a child". I thought about that for a moment and said "that's true, but my parents weren't 65 when I was a child, big difference".
Now when I hear of a grown child caring for parent(s), I have a better understanding. You are so right, it is hard.
