I have help coming later in the day for the main meal, and other household top work. I can get someone for 12 hour shifts but, why bother when I can do it? When push comes to shove, I may have to, but since I can do it now, I quite enjoy the experience. Yes, we can. I have help coming later in the day for the main meal, and other household top work.

The answer is yes. It is a double edged sword. He does not like it that 'his first born son' has to do all the work, and resents his own helplessness in not being able to do something about it! I hope that I never reach that stage. That is a great insight Jean. The answer is yes. It is a double edged sword.

Rummuser, At least it happens in the morning so the rest of the day has to be an improvement. You've mentioned your father tends to be status conscious. Does he think your care giving is beneath your dignity, that it should be woman's or servant's work? If so that would make it doubly hard for you. Cathy, Congratulations on passing those two papers. And good luck! gaelikaa,

Rummuser,
At least it happens in the morning so the rest of the day has to be an improvement. You’ve mentioned your father tends to be status conscious. Does he think your care giving is beneath your dignity, that it should be woman’s or servant’s work? If so that would make it doubly hard for you.

Cathy,
Congratulations on passing those two papers. And good luck!

Art Crime and the Popular Music industry are about to collide in about 10days time when the next Semester begins and I have less workload to manage - this is the result of the stressors of last Semester and the answer to is lower the number of problems :-) I try to find a way around personal stress…over the last Semester that has been sorely tried and I ended up in ‘plodding mode’

Every morning, till he gets going and has had his breakfast, I am on pins. Once that test has passed, I de-stress by reading the papers and solving crossword puzzles. The rest of the day passes off quietly. My stress test is my father. Every morning, till he gets going and has had his breakfast, I am on pins.

That doesn't mean very many people learn from history. ;) It sounds as if you're doing a great job staying positive. Evan, That can be a tough one. But if you share some of the problems of earning a living that can bring the two of you even closer. Mike, That sounds like a great problem to have. :) bikehikebabe,
