I enjoyed your exchange with Archer. Too bad some had to take offense. If I came to your house I would do my best to behave but you might have to smack me upside the head if I overlooked something.

As for caregiving - most of us have done it for family but some of us are better suited for other things. Things go best if it can be approached in team fashion. When my dad was in his last days the house was full of family - usually around 20 people on any given day. Fortunately it is a very large house. My sister's and I jokingly divided up the duties. The sister who is an RN and the one who was a CNA joked that I am not that good at "Nursie duty. They took on that task. I got kid duty (we had 7 or 8 little kids under 10). My husband got Uncle Bill duty (keeping crazy uncle Bill busy and out of trouble. One sister got Office duty to keep the family business going. My step mother and I shared Kitchen duty.

Everyone did what they were best at and we got the job done - and had a few laughs over our "assignments". Best of all we got to make the most of being ther for my Dad.

Et,
If I am to get a mop and toilet brush in your home, I will also require a surgical mask and latril gloves. I cannot do housework without owing to allergies.
Did my comment really give rise to a storm of hurricane proportions?
