not sure what and where i should be typing this reply but i will progress....... loved your thoughts on easier looking after children than OH! shopping is the worst thing we do together, i feel he should be sitting in the trolley rather than breathing heavily over my shoulder telling me what to buy, usually because the package is brightly coloured! follows me everywhere and never sits down. cant use the tv remote, phone or ipad. so sad that i have had to give our young dog to my son for now, i miss her so much but he was always leaving the gate open or the back door and i was becoming neurotic about her being on the road.
i feel so much better having read through many of your posts tonight in the knowledge that i am not alone in the decision making.
hope all goes well Sad staffs.
Thank you for your post.... we are all in this very big boat, trying to keep it from sinking, but it has a permanent leak.
I can’t help but find it irritating the way he won’t leave me alone. Always checking where I am, what I am doing, even if I’m on the loo. I have to leave door open so he can see me. If I make a slight noise, he will shout are you alright. All the time!
When I change his pads he complains forcefully about my face and head in his way, like I can take them off. His elbows and arms always smacking me by accident in my face, but he doesn’t know he’s doing that. At least I hope he doesn’t!
It’s all so hard isn’t it?
He’s panicking now that he can’t remember what he has to do when he gets out of bed. Will the staff in the care home look after him as I do? In truth that might be my fault as I do everything, tell him step by step what he and I do. He can’t remember that, but he can talk about things in the news, and they make sense!
I’m so sorry about your dog. I can feel for you, she was uncomplicated love and loyalty.
Please keep in touch and let me know how you are.
I know these posts help me, I feel so many of you care.... we care about each other.
Love B xx
