Does working part time help or hinder carers?
If I was a live in carer the question wouldn't be asked but as a carer for mum who is still in her own home I wonder how people feel about this.
I have had a really tough week, I haven't felt like going out at all, the stress and the worry about all the caring issues are awful.
I have a part time job where I can chose my own hours and have been out a lot for the last two days meeting my customers, who are lovely, (I don't serve the one moany one, can't be bothered, my choice). It has boosted me no end.
Today I think that having a part time job is a life line, as a live out carer I have to stress.
It would be impossible for me to work set hours full or part time.
I just wondered what others thought about balancing working and caring?
