Find Care & Housing
Susan, why not put aside one or two days a week just for doing the Cinderella thing? No more, no less. Just take that particular day and call it a loss day of anything else except what they want you to do. BUT all the other days, they're on their own. Take your MP3/IPOD player with you, stick the ear buds in and play your music while you do the work. Make them have a list ready for you on that day, and stick to it. Go to your 'happy place' in your head and just get the work done. period. No histrionics, no drama, just do it.

I'm in the same boat with you. All I can say is....DON'T ALLOW THEM TO TAKE YOU OUT WITH THEM!!!!!!!

Some people are just plain evil & that includes seniors. Please say no often now or you will be their slave forever. It's been 15 yrs. now for me & I can't get any cooperation from her doctor either. I'm two steps away from handing her over to state guardianship.
