For some reasons the weekend sitters from the sitter service never came more than once. The service messed up some times. Other times it was clearly my mother's fault. She was determined to do it her way, with her handpicked helper. And since she gave in on having help, I gave in on who it was.
But I've seen the problems of not dealing with an agency from the start. The trouble is that nothing stays static. If Daddy starts to do better, he and mother will be adamant (and right short term at least) that they can get by with that one person. But in cases of Christmas and crisis, it has real drawbacks.
Do I have the strength of will to fight my mother again? Will she sabotage any arrangements I make if I do?
What you say makes absolute sense to me. And is in line with what I've tried off and on to do. I just have no stamina. :(
Thanks, Lar.
