I Am a Caregiver

Go figure. His emergency room visit was for nothing. They ran every test they could think to run. Stupid old raisin. 馃檮

You should [b]SERIOUSLY[/b] rethink your job as caregiver. Yikes

Get to know the details first please. @CereBellum
@GlitterBug I can understand your frustrations, but look at it from his perspective.
GlitterBug22-25, F
He is a hypochondriac that loves attention. He literally doesn't care if hes making us so poor we can't eat for a few days, if he's inconveniencing anyone. So on and so forth. He's a bad person to the core but he's family. And boy does he love hospitals. 馃槖

@CereBellum
@GlitterBug That鈥檚 probably because they pay more attention to him there than at home.

Lol. Not the case. Two people here constantly waiting on him hand and foot though hes capable of most things still. He loves it all. @CereBellum
@GlitterBug I am guessing he is old enough to have some dementia going on. It鈥檚 really a shame. Try talking to him in a sincere caring way and see how he responds?
GlitterBug22-25, F
He doesn't have dementia or alzheimer's or I'd be excusing the behavior. I do talk to him calmly even when I think he's faking. Escalation can never help anything. I just wish he was more cooperative. He likes me though, I'm the only one he seems to like. I hope you understand I'm not coming from a place of hate, just frustration. It's to be expected when I dont get to leave the house to take care of him. Only for him to do these things and not care.
