How awful of him. If you love somebody, you don't yell "Whaaat naaaow?"
when they need you. Even if you think it, you keep it inside. My opinion
of him went further downhill.

Ever been in that situation? I have and believe me it doesn't matter
how much I love Dave I said "Whaaaat naaaow?" more than once. (along
with "Remind me again- what did your last slave die of?"). Everyone
has a breaking point. Being asked however nicely and however much you
know the other person needs it done if you could "Cook breakfast?"
when it's 8.30am on a Saturday after a rotten week at work and all
you want to do is have a lie in with the cats isn't going down too
well however much you appreciate the other person needs you to do it

Believe me if I had kept it inside all that time I would have burst
several blood vessels. Carers have to vent sometimes

When I came here to take care of my parents Mom was still ambulatory. After
Dad died she took to her bed. I can understand that; she'd been married for
57 years so naturally she was depressed and despondent. But that didn't
mean she couldn't get out of bed. She simply chose not to. I bought baby
monitors in case she needed anything in the middle of the night. That
didn't mean I wanted to wake up hearing her say, "Where's my coffee?" at
6AM. It gets very tiring being a full-time care giver. It takes a lot of
energy trying to meet someone elses' needs 24/7. And yes, sometimes I
needed to vent.

I think it's great Lori is taking advantange of her new "kitchenette"
situation.
