21 and job pay
I am a caregiver making 12hr - 40hrs
I work with a great family, i take care of a (74 M) and he has his(71 F) wife. Don’t let the age fool you, they are a burst of energy and fun.
I also take care of my dad who is in his late 50s, disabled vet - blind in one eye, and medium mobility issues.
I’m a landlord, we have a farm to tend too and I plan to go back to school in the spring.
With all the work that comes into caregiving/ taking care of my dad. Sometimes I feel ungrateful for no being happy with the pay and neglecting my mental health.
All my job/ agency care about is me showing up for them, never about how i’m feeling or what i’m going through.
I feel so burned out by everything that’s on my plate, I didn’t help my case by being 2 months pregnant now.
My dad warned me that being pregnant will “ruin my life”.. Idk what to do, apart of me wants to give up, the other wants me to find a new job bc all i’ve ever talked about it furthering my career outside of caregiving because i’ve been in this career for 3 years. now that i have to care for my dad - i question myself about my job a lot.
i’m losing my mind, and it’s all my fault.
