    I ended up getting roped in to helping my dad clean the living room so no cross stitch but I am reading. Tomorrow I'm cleaning the bathroom as he's bought me a pair of shorts for doing it. If I can get it done in the morning, I can spend the afternoon resting.

    As long as that's all you do....
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    I'm going to try but there will probably be running around after my mum too, she seems to be doing less and less for herself...

    What happens if you don’t do it all for her?
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    Some she'll do herself, or my dad will do it. But a lot of the time, she waits until I'm in the room, or that's what it feels like

    Maybe you could remind her that "use it or lose it".....

    Have you asked her how she’ll cope when you move out?

    She'll just say that she'll have to get on with it

    Could you try training her by leaving things for her to do now?

    They just get left. That's why I started doing the washing, because it was getting left so long that I was running out of clothes. I don't mind doing housework, it's when I get called back from halfway upstairs to make her a cup of tea, and little things like that.
