Don’t know where to start or how to put this ok hear go .
I gave up my job a year & half ago to look after mum full time, & can not do it anymore ,but still want to look after mum at home, till mum gets to the stage that I can no longer look after her .
I would love to read please someone else story in how they cope in looking after there mum at home & work fulltime.
I do not have a partner so could not work part time,& have work out benefits if I work over 16 hours I lose the carer allowance & have to pay full rent , sometime I feel don’t give a dame ,somehow with mum pension & my part time wages ,we cope .
Then ok go full time & just get in a full time carer, it be wired.
If your in the same situation as in not working ,how do you combat the boredom ,I have work all my life & thought I could cope with not working ,but can not accept the situation of not working my confidents has hit a low & now am scared in how would I organise it all ,working full time & looking after mum .
Mum is stage 5 AD is in respite at the moment ,I have an interview on Friday & do not no what to say as in working full time or part time .Its only in Sainsbury’s around the corner from me ,I use to work for Marks & Spencer’s.
I know I could go back to M&S, but seeing that Sainsbury is just around the corner I like the idea that it’s near to home.
Any comments, advice would be most appreciated
