And I'm so angry at my Dad.
He goes out every Tuesday for 3 hrs or so to his club.
Dad does all the cooking and main meals.
He knows how important it is for him to come home on time to cook dinner, before Mum gets it into her head to do so.
I have just come home from work, to find Dad still out and Mum attempting to make a stew on the stove.
The stove was up on High, with the stew bubbling over. The pot handle was so loose, its a wonder it didn't break off in your hand. I can see Mum tipping the boiling water down her. Trying to get a new pot, Mum decides shes going to climb on a chair, because the pots are up high in the cupboard. Mums unsteady on her feet as it is.
Dad being later than his normal time is nothing unusual.
Once in a while instead of staying out his 3 or 4 hrs,its more like 7 or 8, and once it gets dark, I have to pick him up. He doesn't think of phoning at all. I give him the usual rant, and he apologises, but yet it happens again. Every couple of months hes like his.
I can understand hes probably doing it to let of steam... A few too many beers and gambling on the poker machines ( I control their money for this reason so he only gets X amount of spending money)
Thankfully Mum & Dad live behind us, and my husband is here during the day while I'm at work, and Mum does have a medical alarm....
But I'm so over it, and this is only the beginning
My husband has a medical condition, so I am his carer also, plus I have 2 school age children. I can only cope when things are in order, and I'm not having to organise both of my parents
I'm so upset and I have called my KeyWorker from the AD society to arrange a home visit.
