[quote=Anonymous]OP I'm 21:29 poster The other thing you can do is have a regular scheduled date night with your husband. Say dinner and a movie once a week. Schedule the caregiver for a four hour shift. You all go and have fun. Ignore Mom's sulking. Since you sound overwhelmed I'd also schedule a 4 hour shift on a week day where you can go out, go to the library, massage, etc and do things on your own once a week. We had caregivers for around 20 years. Mom has had some that she really loved. One in particular would snuggle with Mom on the couch and they would watch "Say Yes to the Dress." Dad also had them drive and take Mom places which Mom always enjoyed. Ignore the sulking.[/quote]
