Dd does my head in

This is just a rant really.

Dd is 27 sometimes she does my head in. She sends me long paragraphs about how ill she is . I feel so ill my head hurts , I'm coughing my nose it blocked. Me to her have you taken paracetamol and ibuprofen. Dd yes... when did you take it . Dd last night before bed... ffs why she banging on at me when she's does fuck all to help herself today.

She has a driving test today its her 3rd one she's worried she's going to fail because she feels ill . Has she done anything to help herself nope.... i say that apprently now I have told her to shes going to take something for it .

She's same with her children she will message me long paragraphs about how the kids are not well. And I go through the same questions have you given calpol /ibuprofen. No she has not so then I have to tell her well give them some give it time to set in bla bla.

I know people do say when they feel unwell and feeling shit I get that but dd does fuck all to help herself before some long arse conversation about really basic stuff that I should not have to tell her over and over again.

Me have you given him calpol . Her no. So for 4hrs the child had been in pain or ill and she's made no effort to give calpol
That's downright neglect. Is she neglectful in other ways?

No it just seems to be that she forget calpol exists everything else she's ok

Is this the daughter that has bipolar op? Is it maybe possible that she needs some more outside professional help to enable her to cope so it doesn't all fall to you?

Yeah but its very hard to tell when something is truly going on and when it's not. Like when she says GS has been screaming for 4 hours. When I ask my teen ds . If he's there he will say no he's been whining for about 15 mins or so . He's not screaming.. then within 10 mins or so . She's making snaps dancing and messing about. I think that may be a part of the bipolar im not sure . But its hard to filter out when does she truly need help and when doesn't she.

My partners like this, he moans non stop when he’s ill, how bad his headache his, his throats sore, he’s tired, he’s snotty etc, but he does nothing to help himself. When I’m sick I take vitamins, eats vitamin rich foods and smoothies, take medicines, drink honey and lemon, use heat patches, get rest where I can, use a decongestant, bath a steamy bath etc because I HAVE to to to be able to function, work full time and look after the kids. I suggest these things to him but he dismisses them and just continues to moan, ut makes me much less sympathetic for him when he’s ill because he refuses any remedies, medical or hollistic. He says he just likes to “tough it out” but I think he just likes the attention 😂
