So we put a padlock on the shop door the other day. Uncle wasn't to fond of that, as what would I be hiding. I really don't care what he thinks about that thoe.
Me and my dad just really are at the end with my uncle. Its like sometimes he makes it harder then helps. Some of my other family is starting to see it but not nearly as much as we do.
Today he called my mom at work, she didn't answer. He called my dad and he was busy working also. He called me, and i answered. He said she has to go to the bathroom and that's just disgusting so hes not going to help with it. I said well ime at work an he asked well who's going to be home first, it can wait. Sadly he was serious about that. My dad called back but i was closer and he cant just leave whenever. I went home and helped. Ime sorry but its one of those things that I don't want to help with either but i will cause i love her. Its like not everything in life can be about you and what you want.
She then was hungry and it was about lunch time. Of course i had to fix food for her cause he wouldn't. I fixed lunch for her an he asked were his is. I couldn't respond, well i could but i don't wana start crap infront of my grandma. I just went up stairs for two minutes so i didnt totally freak out on him and i come back down and she was saying she likes the news beter after my uncle put his show on. Then he makes a joke how we should just put a padlock on the bathroom as well(referencing to the lock we put on the shop door) cause shele have to go.
Many things like those and others have demonstrated why he wont be watching her.
Its just been a big adjustment with her moving in. We use to come an go whenever and now we cant always do as we please. Its something that has to be done and is well worth it. In the mean time its just a little hard. We will do what needs to be done to make it work thoe.
I have been real lucky as my cousin has been letting me make up my own schedule for work an just come an go around when I need to watch my grandma. Ime also still using one of his company pickups. As good as it is I somewhat dislike it cause I feel like ime taking handouts or something. I don't want special treatment or whatever it may be called.
The aunt she lived with is helping a lot as well. Between the four of us we usually can be there 24. around the clock. There are times we ask my uncle to help or my other aunt. That don't work out thoe so we avoid that.
My parents are also just great. I couldn't ask for better parents. Through this as much as we struggle with other family I got my mom and dad. Me and my dad went out to dinner tonight while my mom watched grandma.
Starting next week we will have caregivers in the mornings and some afternoons. They will do breakfast, showers, an just keep her company. My aunt and dad arranged that and my uncle made a comment about taking away form money they can inherit.
