Carer Complaint



Hello Everyone:

It’s a rainy Sunday evening, perfect social distancing weather. The BIL is still in the hospital and Sis is making sound like it’s all good. It isn’t because he’s still not off the ventilator and there’s no telling when the ventilator will be taken out and he’ll be able to come home. The carers are driving me up a tree. The chatty one seems to have fully inserted herself into the household instead of remaining at a distance. The other one just waits to be given work to do. The one thing that drives me up a tree is when they do kitchen duty. Whether it’s meal preparation or the dishes, they find some way to mess up.  Mostly, they put things in the wrong places or use the wrong dish or utensil, making it incredibly hard to find things or I have to replace the item in the correct location. What’s the most frustrating is that no matter how many times I’ve said something to them, it goes in one ear and out the other. The chatty one is particularly irritating because she just talks over me. The chatty one, in general, is an irritant. She somehow feels compelled to share her whole life story. Not that interested. I just wish mm would reign them in and pay more close attention to what they do.
