Is it Fair?
I had a friend ask me if I thought I was being fair to Daddy by keeping him at my house. It really raised a lot of questions in my mind. I know it’s not fair that he isn’t living at HIS home - but nothing I can do about that. Is it fair that I haven’t allowed him to go to a nursing home? I don’t know. I guess I need to pro and con it - think of it non selfishly.
Pros - For him: Activities and people around him all the time.
3 square meals a day
immediate medical attention if he needs it
Pros - For us: Freedom to do as we need to do
Less stress and worry
I’ll be able to help Mom more with her problems.
Cons - For him: Strange place, strange people.
‘locked up’ when used to freedom to walk and go outside.
He’s not sick
Cons: For us - Mom’s income cut by 2/3rds
I need to think about more pros and cons. There are surely more than this.
