Chapter 2: the book addict rejoins the world

I've suggested my staying at my parents the night before. That way I can also still help them with housework and claim carers for a bit longer.

That sounds like a good idea sweetie, my concern would be the housework being left until you went it would leave a lot for you to do in a shorter space of time, am basing that on what you have said that they are relying on you totally at the moment and not being funny itms?

Angie makes a good point. Is that not just going to mean you doing everything in 2 days rather than being able to spread things out?

**Jaquaia** · 10-01-20, 01:39 PM

They would have to do more themselves. I wouldn't be able to do it all on my own. To be fair, a lot of my dads pain is self-inflicted, between retiring and now, he's piled on 5 stone and I don't think his body is handling it well...

Any thoughts on getting a cleaner or a carer in to help them?

Then I think you’re going to need to have a list of things you’re prepared to do when you’re there and, if the rest isn’t done, it’s down to them itms
