Find Care & Housing
If you want some sympathy, this caregiver will not give it because being a caregiver implies you "give" not take. Your day will come when you can be waited on hand and foot by waiters, etc. So enjoy your mother while you still have her. I would give anything to have any meal with my deceased mother just to hear her complain...

That was perfect, ferris. Thank you. It illustrated the title very well.

Other people often make the choice to take the caregiver's needs as complaints because to do otherwise means THEY would have to do something.

Sometimes it's not 'just' about simple 'complaints'. I love my mother and have been taking care of her for 10 years with no regrets... BUT... It has taken an accumulative toll on me... For the past 10 years I have asked... hoped... that my two brother's would know enough to help take some load off me or just give me '1' (ONE) break away from my mom... But, this never happened... So, long story short... Some 'complaints' are valid and have nothing to do with 'enjoying' or appreciating your loved one that you're caring for "while you have them". I think that's a given.
