I've had it...
I AM FED UP.
I don't know what to do.
I have been taking care of my boyfriends mom, for almost a year now, because she's disabled.
I don't mind helping her, and I'm not going to leave her when she can't fend for herself.
My boyfriend works.
Her "husband" doesn't do a damn thing to help her.
Since she's being waited on hand and foot, I think she's getting a little spoiled.
She no longer says please.
She just texts me saying "lunch" when she needs it, or "potty" when she needs that.
She will purposely wait until she sees me sit down, AFTER I asked if she needs anything else, to call for me saying she needs something.
She doesn't listen to a word I say, when I ask her NOT to feed my dog human food. She dismisses everything her husband does, especially when she found out he was talking to other women.
She will threaten to report us to elder abuse, if she doesn't get a bath right when she wants it..
but she's the one that always puts it off.
Ex: she'll ask for a bath Tuesday afternoon. Once that comes around she's "too tired" and wants to do it the next day. So on and so forth.
We can't do anything, go anywhere, get out of the house, because her husband won't help her.
He will purposely come home late from work, just so he doesn't have to help her, sleep all day.
And if we do get a chance to leave, she texts us, literally every 20 minutes asking when we will be home, and if we ignore a text, we're being disrespectful.
I don't know what to do anymore guys.
Boyfriend doesn't want her to be in a home.
I'm stuck here all day with her, and she's getting worse and worse.
I feel bad for calling her a pain, but I'm exhausted, I'm tired of being demanded to do something, without a please, and I'm tired of not being able to live my life.
