To, as my sister phrased it "get things tidied off the floor for her".
This is how it is; mum is 70 and quite frail and has Alzheimer's
Sister has taken upon herself to play role as carer, although she doesn't live with mum, but has own grown up family including one person she is already classed as full-time carer for. She also is registered disabled herself and can't get down to floor easily. She hurts herself if she does.
I myself am looking after two 10year olds and a 7month old.
So if something gets spilled on the floor am i expected to stop whatever i am doing, pack baby into pushchair, and traipse down the road (10 mins walking) to clean it up, then go back home. And in that case, what do i do if i'm at the shops, in which case, yes, theoretically i could pop in on my way home and do it, even though all my trips out are timed in between feeds and it would put our routine out of whack.
Well? I guess it wouldn't bother me if i didn't have baby to look after, but since i do...am i really being unreasonable?
