The mother-in-law is old and has difficulty in legs and feet, so she has long been unable to do without human care.
The so-called care requires cleaning in addition to washing and cooking. Especially when I can't stop people around me, I'm worried that she will fall.
One day, it was my second uncle on duty. After settling down my mother-in-law for a good meal, my second uncle went out after having something to do.
Mother-in-law pushed her trolley and slowly moved to go out and take a walk. Because my legs and feet were weak, I fell all of a sudden. The old man with more than
80 can't get up no matter how he crawled, and there was no one around, so he sat on the ground for a long time.
Later, the neighbor who was passing by helped her up and called her to notify her second uncle.
Since then, no one dares to keep his mother-in-law away from her sight.
The mother-in-law is usually taken care of by four children in turn. During a week, the child’s elder sister-in-law, uncle and father are on duty for two days each, and the child’s second uncle is on duty one day a week.
If there is an urgent matter, you can transfer your shift yourself.
For so many years, I have been like this and I am peaceful.
However, four days ago, the second uncle of the child was at home and stayed at home. I called and said I couldn't be on duty anymore, so I asked other brothers and sisters to take the time off.
Three days ago, the child’s aunt was in the middle of her home, and she could not be on duty.
Two days ago, my aunt and sister-in-law's niece was also alive, and my aunt and sister-in-law were also staying at home.
In this way, the four siblings, except for the child’s father, all sheep. The burden of taking care of the mother-in-law falls on the child's father.
It’s almost the end of the year, and the child’s father is really busy at work. It's okay to take a few days off, but it's not realistic if you're at home for a week or two.
I said, why don’t we find an hourly worker? Let's pay and help take care of it for a while.
The child’s father said that it is not very safe to find a hourly worker now. Who knows how good the hourly worker is? We can’t let others test antigen every day. If it is infected, it will be too late to affect the elderly.
What should I do?
The child’s father said, "Why, you should take a few days off during this period and help take care of it. It will definitely be fine in two weeks."
I thought about it and this is all I can do.
Everyone has time to get old.
