[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP- another vote to not listen to the bozos. It's so freaking easy to just hire a carer (who is responsible and can drive and always shows up for everything) for just $25. And how many or few hours they can pick up as of course they are perfectly elastic in their availability. Just waiting around for the exact hours you need them for. And they don't need to be managed at all... So Easy!!![/quote]

Op Again. Exactly. Thank you. I don't want to manage anyone. I can't even get it together to get a weekly cleaning service. Someone has to be in charge of the hiring, managing, paying, etc. Who magically is going to do that. And how many caregivers drive and can just be sitting around on call?

Someone please tell me who can gather all the tax documents that are needed and send to the accountant to pay taxes for $25 an hour. To take phone calls from doctors, assisted living, etc. And don't get me started on extended family members who can't reach my dad because he forgets to charge his phone so they start calling me. Who can I pay to sift through boxes of documents to make sure important documents don't get shredded and all the others one do get shredded?

It is often like a game of chicken and which sibling caves and ends up getting stuck doing all these tasks. And once you start you can't seem to step away. [/quote]
