I'd say this is a "porque no los dos" moment. You're the second person I have heard of who made the choice to be come the primary carer for a parent like this and I applaud you for it: I have no doubt it sometimes caused stress, but it's by far the nicest of the least-bad choices if you both can handle it. The other guy it meant putting some life/career goals on-hold but I am very proud he went ahead with it. A very selfless thing to decide.
Showed the best in people I think. As this does for you. Well done!
- defrost 2y ago> who made the choice to be come the primary carer for a parent like this Heh. It's a looong way from that yet; I largely do what I've always done, save now I'm mostly based at my fathers house (well, the house that he built, that I recently bought and stuck in a trust for my grandson). I spend about ten hours a week plus|minus being a trade assistant to his projects: building bridges for walking tracks, restoring an old Toyato rodeo, converting an ex AU military truck to a five tonne water tank off road truck for the local fire crew, replacing water heaters, dropping trees at his church, puting up fences, being a co-driver fo vaious 500km+ road trips about the state. He enjoys the company and I catch the creeping errors in planning and forgetting to turn the oven off. I have, as a result, veered more into rural IT support (smart farm networks | drone footage storage & processing) and less geophysics .. but that's life, always new things. Thanks for the thumbs up though, appreciated.
