So, I have just finished my first week as a live in carer to vulnerable adults. Basically 168 hour shift as on call every night. It's a sector which I worked in a long time ago but refreshed my skills after a Covid redundancy and was very pleased to have found a job like this at my age ( close to 50).
So onto today ........I arrive home to find that apart from feeding himself and the animals and washing up no housework was done. His washing is waiting for me in the basket, floors thick with dust and hair, no dusting done at all. Kitchen clean but floor filthy. His reason " you said you wanted to do the whole house on Xmas Eve" no pal, I said to keep on top of things and WE could do a deep clean on Xmas Eve.
Then - as I am trying to unpack my case he starts waffling on about the food shopping list , it's ok I say, I've done a draft list, just cross off the stuff you have already bought - tumbleweed. Apparently I like to be in charge of the shopping ( since when ???) so he has left it to me.
Then I noticed that the toilet seat has cracked through.......he asks me how much I weigh as I must have done it
.
So in mitigation, he has been up with an ill elderly cat for the last few nights, tho vet said it's a virus & she should be fine, and he is usually not a massive gobshite. And he is out getting the rest of the shopping now.
So, am I being massively nasty to want a cat to piss in his slippers, is he a bellend or are we both tired and crotchety for different reasons and we should have a nice evening and start fresh tomorrow?
