What can I do when Im taking care of someone who's family members are complete pigs?
I work with a woman in her home every week day. Her husband, and 2 others live in the home as well. On top of them, they have many cats and a dog. I want her to be in a relatively clean living environment, and I try to keep it as clean as I can while I am there. My problem is, I do the dishes for all of them and they will just keep piling them up with caked on food, even sometimes mold. I do her laundry, vacuum, clean litter boxes, feed the animals, give them fresh water, clean her bathroom etc. on top of her regular daily cares. I don't normally go there on the weekends, so when I come there early Monday morning, the place is a complete mess! Normally the animals dont have food or water, there is animal vomit and/or feces on the floor, the dishes are piled all up in the sink and onto the counters, and sometimes the woman I am caring for is still in her clothes from the day prior, and wasnt given her medication either. I mean things could be far worse, but I think she could be taken better care of as well. I do the cleaning to help out her husband, but im there primarily to take care of her! I almost feel like im expected to do the dishes and everything else. So I need others opinions on if I should say something (and if so what) or should I stop whining, and just let it roll of my back and keep doing all the cleaning when the 3 other people in the house are fully capable of taking on some role. The husband also works from the home minimal hours. Any input would help, thanks!
