I have alot of multitasking in my life right now. I volunteer at church some, I keep grandkids once a week and work part time several days a week. Also I am married and like to spend some time with my husband on weekends. I feel pressured and guilty all the time. I told her to come see me sometimes. We live in the same town and even though she doesn't drive my dad is still living and drives her. She is so comfortable in her home she doesn't want to go many places. Her doctor suspects she has Alzheimers and she is on medicine and has arthritis in her back also. Any advice would be helpful. Thank You!
As Mother's health declines and Father could use more help and some respite, you might consider giving up or cutting back on the church volunteer work to give you a little more breathing room to visit a bit more often. What is it they say? Charity begins at home?
But you definitely have the right to set your own boundaries and visit as often as you decide makes sense. No guilt is necessary!
