When other's are just ticking you off, when you just cannot keep it in any longer, and you have already tried and tried; or you find something so funny but posting it topically would interrupt a conversation; OR you feel like testing your own compassionate quotient by wording it in a way so as NOT to offend;
Instead of logging out, post it here......
Here is an example: Some posts are getting soooo long that no one reads them. Ever. But one day, you find yourself bored out of your mind, and you read, and read, and read. Only to discover that person, a part of the community here, may need help that you cannot give. You want to help, but you are prevented. So, say it all here. Air concerns, but be extremely kind-because everyone you meet is fighting an uphill battle.
Understand?
If it is too long, no one will read it.
I feel so all alone, maybe it is my fault after all.
Yeah, that's it. I am to blame. And I apologize.
Last year, friends in the UK joined in wishing a happy fourth!
I love our friends in the UK!
Has anyone ever had thoughts about how great a caregiver would be if you or your family ever needed someone? (Not that any of the caregivers here would ever want to take on an assignment after caregiving Mom or Dad.) But MsMadge, excellent choice!
You're hired
According to this sheet not once in four hours did she take mom to the restroom and her handwritten comments are three repetitive lines which read Mrs R is doing a little napping. Now she is awake. Mrs R is napping again. Now she is awake.
That flushing sound is $82 down the toilet
Hubs is off his schedule, somehow, it will be my fault that he is running late for work.
It's not me, it's them.
But the stress will be hurting me.
He's sorry, he lost track. How is that possible after you already reminded him; AND told the other person he cannot help after 1:45. It is 2:30 p.m. before he stops!!
Uber.
Too many caregivers can take on all the responsibilities for things not being right, and have little time to research or figure things out. After all, Mom or Dad may be sick, right? Well, often, it's not you, it's them!
It is other people behaving badly.
So badly in fact, that it is hurting you.
Complain about it here!
It is not you, not your fault!
It is others behaving badly!

Did you see any improvement in the food?
And what about those new writers that seem to be "drive-by" writers. They post a new question, and after 5 pages of answers from the community, we never hear back from them, not once since the original posting.... [sigh]. They have left the building and threw away the address.
Now that I have gotten to know the motivations of my extended family, I never want to see them again. At all.
It is them behaving ever so badly, it's them, not me.
Other people behaving badly, not likely to change.
Feel like I don't have to prove it to them.
Inquiring minds want to know. It's them behaving badly, not me?
