There have been times I wished my parents would pass. Some of the times I thought it was FOR them, but I often have to really look at myself and wonder how much it may be for me.

Either way, I know the feelings are normal. To watch your parents be like they are is hard, to care for them, even harder!
We all have our own lives which is put on a back burner, thus we end up losing a lot. To watch my parents be as they are is tough. They would hate to knowingly be like this. And I am tired. I already raised my kids. I have grandkids that I am losing valuable time with. One of my daughter's needs me to watch her baby some of the time for her. I tried to do both, care for my parents and care for the baby...on days off from parents. I can't do it.
My oldest sister does 5 days a week with my parents. I only do 2, but that seems too much. I am disabled and if I could work like this, I could go back to work, eh?
One week, my daughter got me 2 days, then my parents 2 days, then the next week, my daughter got me 5 days and my parents 2 days. I have to say no to my daughter now. I cannot say no to my parents. There is noone else. So, I am losing time with the grandkids...(my daughter also has an 8 year old son).
Yep., they are going to die anyway...why does it have to disrupt so much while we wait. And that is all it really is, its a waiting game.
