Mums thursday carer came today and told mum she had some news, she said she was going to have her twice a week now as she was doing tuesdays too but if we weren't happy to ring office. She asked mum if that was ok and Mum said Yes cos I love you coming.
So that's sorted then. They may send someone else when she goes on holiday or if Tuesday carer is off a long time but it looks like for now she will do both days so mum will know whose coming.
Carer asked mum if she had any ironing to do today as she has been doing some for her but mum didn't as tuesday carer had done it. So she asked if mum had any cleaning she needed doing, or if she wanted them to do any. Mum said no she could do it and she'd come to chat with her and didn't have to do anything. Carer said they could do both. Mum told her she'd done some and there was only her here so it don't get dirty, which she says to me a lot, but was friendlier to carer. I told carer she says that to me all the time.
Mum mentioned she'd been meaning to mop bathroom floor but hadn't got round to it cos she kept colouring instead. So she offered to do it but mum said Oh no I'll do it tomorrow. Carer asked what mum had been up to since last week and mum said colouring and we talked about that for bit. Mum said she'd done some hoovering too so carer asked when, mum said other day and I said on friday, Mum said Was it? and so I said Yes we went all through apart from didn't mop bathroom floor. Mum said Oh yeah, well there's only me here so it doesn't need doing much. Carer said well we can do some today, but mum was still saying no you don't need to, I'll do it later. I didn't like to say too much and mum get annoyed at me before I left, or have her get annoyed with carer, but I did say she says that to me all time. Mum said we're always cleaning to carer and went back to her colouring, I said we manage once a week if we were lucky.
When hubby came and we were leaving carer mentioned them cleaning again and mum was still saying no need. Carer was joking saying she'd convince her. I said good luck she shouts at me when I try but she might not shout at you. I don't know what will happen rest of afternoon with that. I hope mum doesn't get annoyed with her like she does with me. I also hope mum isn't annoyed with me later about saying things to carer about cleaning.
I feel a bit awkward and embarrassed about her doing cleaning with mum, like I should do it if mum doesn't and she might think I don't even try and wonder what do I do all day when I'm there. I did put in my email before carers started that mum says she cleans regular but doesn't and I try to get mum to clean but she gets agitated sometimes and so if it gets too bad I leave it and try another day and if carers did try then they could do same if mum was same with them. But I don't want them to have hard time with mum and I just feel awkward and like I should manage it. It'll be interesting to read if carer puts anything about it in carer report when I go tomorrow.
