You already know this, but caretaking is hard!

MAD RESPECT for all you single moms (and partnered ones) out there making life work!

My spouse just had a spinal fusion last week and i took two weeks off to care for him (I never use my vacation, so I had the time to do it.). I'm back at work Monday and really worried about leaving him solo. He's in a neck brace right now, going through pain med withdrawal, had to take him to the ER for tracheal impingement. He can't bend, lift, or twist anything, and driving is right out.

I've been taking care of him, the kids, chores, everything, and I am so bloody tired of it. Plus I'm long term ill myself and my son is being bullied... It just goes on forever.

I've only been doing this for 2 weeks and I'm BEAT. So thank you all for showing me how it can be done!
