Hi
My parents are elderly and have had their share of health problems.
My mom has been in hospital recenlty with breathing problems and my dad is diabetic and has problems with walking.
I am around in the week as I work nightshifts and I do take them to appointments alot ie the doctors, and hospital visits.
This I do probably quite alot lately due to their increasing health problems.
I also take them for their shopping regulary in the week and put their prescriptions into the doctors and generally I do quite alot for them.
They are my parents and I care for them alot and think alot of them.
However I do feel that sometimes I could do with having time to myself to spend at home and with my own family.
However despite there being 2 sisters, and a brother nobody else is ever around to take a turn they all work fulltime and my one sister lives a distance away.
I find my nightshifts very tiring and have to try and work around them, but they fit in with taking my son to and from school.
I am sorry I know I sound really selfish for saying it but sometimes I do wish there was somebody else to take a turn at helping out.
I don't blame others I know they work long hours.
Was just wondering really if anybody is in the same situation and how do you find it.
