frustrating
I work for a living. I have obligations as a member of the synagogue board of trustees. I have a social life.
There, I've said it, I am a terrible person.
Apparently I am "not doing anything" for the family, I am selfish, I am horrible.
My dad is going to be in rehab for most of the summer. My mom and my sisters are spending hours and hours every day at the nursing facility. I'm there 2-3 times a week.
Big fight with my sister H yesterday. I had a work commitment that I could not get out of. Apparently I "chose" my work commitment over family because I didn't leave work to pick up my mother at the rehab facility.
Reason I had to pick up my mother? H wanted to check out a grad school program and A had a dental appointment. F went with A to the dentist, leaving my mom all alone in the rehab.
F could have stayed with my mom, A is not a child who needs supervision at the dentist -- for a cleaning. The appointment could have been changed.
The grad school thing, though...that's what really bothers me. H lost her job over 3 years ago and hasn't been able to find another.My mother is paying all her bills, including her hefty rent, because her unemployment ran out awhile ago. H is still paying off the loans she took out for law school, and she graduated in 1992. I know that she's thinking a Master's in public administration or hospital administration would make her more marketable. But at $1,000 a credit, is it feasible for her to go to school right now?
