I am the primary carer for an elderly mum with dementia. I live in her house. Her wish to stay in her home is very clear. As well as being her primary carer, I work full-time. Over the last few years I have done everything concerning mum's welfare, medical visits, legal and financial bits and continue to do the lion's share meeting her needs; particularly her need for emotional support snd companionship. I work weekends, evenings and bank holidays when I should be on leave/ resting to make up working hours disrupted by meeting her needs. I work from home 60% to 70% of the week in order to meet her needs and this has really impacted on my job satisfaction and mental health. My family fill the afternoon and early evening when I'm on site. Nights and weekends I am mostly looking after mum with some afternoon support occasionally. I pay all my food bills and most of household cleaning stuff etc. My question is: should I also still be contributing to water, gas and electric? If I'm perfectly honest, and I don't like myself very much, I feel resentful paying. If and when mum goes into care, the house will be sold to take care of her. I am not intentionally trying to take advantage.
