Need help
I have a great husband and two great kids. My son is 14 and my daughter is 11. I'm having trouble to get them all to help with chores around the house. When I was first diagnosised everyone was helpful and considerate. The last few weeks, all the chores have fallen on my shoulders. I don't know how to get them to understand that I can't keep up. I have ignored some chores, but others do need to get done. I told my husband this morning I will hire a cleaning lady. I also work part time. I'm having a difficult time with the side effects of the chemo. Yesterday the pain put me in bed at 7:30 p.m. Today I'm up doing a few small things around the house and all three of them are watching t.v. No one cooks. I don't either, my neighbors have been great about bringing us meals. If they didn't we wouldn't have a meal. No one does laundry. I guess I'm just frustrated on getting them to understand, this stress probably isn't helping in my recovery. Thanks to you all for listening to my rant. Chris
