I can't do all this anymore. Mum had her hip replaced on 15th December and has done really well bless her but I am doing things like her washing, sorting her medication, bits of shopping, cleaning, taking to appointments, sorting out her bl**dy surgical stockings.
I have a 2 year old and a 7 year old with dyspraxia, , my DH was ill and signed off work last year, though loads better now, my house is in pieces (literally) fitting a downstair loo some Mum can come over and visit,I'm trying to start a small business to compensate for DH's loss of a days wages, I had flu the week before last and my Dad anounced last week (separated from my Mum ) that he has bowel cancer and is off to see the surgeon on Tuesday.
My brother is 100 miles away and about as much help as a chocolate teapot. I tried hard to set up Social Services help before she went in, which came to nothing. Tried a couple of agencies which were a disaster. I need a mother's help for my mother I think, any idea how I get one ? Excuse the whinge, I am just up to my eyes in trying to sort everything and have to go back to Mum's in a minute to sort these sodding stockings out once her washing is dry.
