Caring for someone has nothing to do with culture. Some people have to give their parents in to care as their homes are not equipped to cope with long term illnesses and disabilities.There is no choice where palliative care is required in some cases.
There must be underlying issues with this ladie's health not to operate on someone of 78.Im many countries they will not replace worn hips until over the age of 70 as they may need replacing in 10 years time.
Having read and digested your post it would appear that this person is causing an atmosphere within the work place.If not then she probably will in the future.
As her supervisor surely you have the authority to take her to one side and discuss the matter with her from a business prospective. As for friendships,there isn't one.People don't diss friends.
I don't know the situation but to me it looks like a green eyed monster is amongst you.
Thanks for the info.Nice to know how the other half live.This is why I like the forums as we all come from different backgrounds and can learn so much from each other.
I understand your sense of reasoning so just have a laugh on C.S. sometimes its better than the movies!!!!!!
Hey if there is something drawing you outside despite the weather then go for it. Life doesn't come knocking at the door,we have to go and find it.
My friend has just flown to Oz for 3 months to care for her son who has been diagnosed with cancer. I didn't realise you had bad weather there or is it just in your neck of the woods?
I would never deem to teach anyone how to live their lives.I take on board your interpretation and thanks for your input.
I was basically trying to make people think about the revengeful and depressing threads posted and asking them to turn their lives round from negative to positive.
At the end of the day this is just another "reality T.V. show" along with Supernanny.These shows have been in Britain for ages.Yes some of the methods are helpful in dealing with bratish children but mostly it's the parents that have to be educated.
If you don't take control and have boundaries from the outset, you give the control to your children.
The alpha male or female rules in the animal kingdom,perhaps we should apply the same methods in human families.
Robert your Mother is not a parcel.Get yorself right before you start caring for others. According to your threads in the past you couldn't cope.So what makes you think you can now. get off the guilt trip and just support her with love and kindness.
Having read some of the posts regarding relationship breakups I thought I would post this bit of philosophy.Feel free to add your own little gems and lets start a positive thread today.
Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right,forget about the one's that don't.
Believe everything happens for a reason.
If you get a second chance grab it with both hands, and if it changes your life let it.
Nobody said life would be easy,they just promised that it would be worth it.
Always remember friends are like balloons,once you let them go,you can never get them back.
I haven't read the whole context of the thread as it's a little long now.
I treat everyone I meet with integrity especially a new person coming in to my life.If I establish that this person will return the compliment,they will remain a friend,otherwise I tend to distance myself from them.
My one criteria in life is that my family and friends are totally honest in any relationship with me,and I with them.J.M.O.
A guy called Neil Boyd .Very large young man with a very large voice. When he won he had a video message from Placido Domingo.Was I watching another show? It was on British T.V. and was called America's got talent.
