Often--usually I think--when we get this little, the OP never returns. I don't know if that's because they don't fully understand how to work the forum, or what, but it seems to be the case.
I don’t know your situation-the who, or how much management and compensation you are talking about. But, I do recognize the want to be recognized for what all caregivers do day in and day out. When I get particularly frustrated about taking care of everything- the finances, the medications, the house, the appointments, plus dealing with the cognitive issues ( like most caregivers here) I ‘pay’ myself. When I feel this way I take an extra $20 in cash at the checkout when buying groceries and then I stick it in a drawer for ‘pin’ money. Doesn’t hurt us financially, but makes me feel better. But I take care of my husband - of course you wouldn’t do this for a non spouse.
? What are you doing for "this person"? And who are they to you? Do you feel you should be paid? Do they feel you should be paid? Can they afford to pay you?
Goodwillhunting. I want to apologize for MisterThomas. We on this forum do not act this way. Its a place to find help and understanding. Hopefully Administration will delete his posts and give you back your thread.
You need to give us more information on what you are doing for this person that you feel you should be paid for. How old are they. Are they family? If family how are they related. Do they live with you, you with them? Do you have family of your own? Do you work? What illnesses does this person have.
Since this thread has been takenbover, you may want to start a new one.
As others have said, your questions must be detailed enough to receive thought before members here will be able to attempt an answer. I would say, if you have been asked to manage a person's life you should decline, should you so wish.
