Good morning all I am having a off day today feeling a little stressed watching and taking care of my mother-in-law ( she broke her leg again ) i am taking care of because I don't work . I am disable and have been since 2000 from a car accident so every time someone needs personnel care they come to my house . My sister-in-law was in a motorcycle accident that made her a quadriplegic and I care for her for over a year until her boyfriend retired and he takes care of her now . My wife works and will not retired for another 6 yrs . We have been married for 39 yrs in August and I feel like I get dump on because I don't work and I cannot say no . I know they really need my help and a love them very much but sometimes I like to be left alone . I guess I am feeling a little sorry for myself instead of just sucking it up and do my job .
This is the only place a have to get things off my chest so thanks .

Im in a similar position. I dont work as my daughters disabled so i get the errands and dog/child sitting expectations since im "just at home" its hard but i now say no to some as people wernt there for me when ive been in and out of hospital/sufferred a loss

If you need personal time then dont be afraid to say no, that you need a little time to yourself

taxi cab driver/cook/first aider/money bank/watcher woman or man/teacher/ fixer of broken things /chief iron my clothes/cleaner /party maker
the list could go on !
