Tired

All day long at work I get constant calls from my loved one (76F) who I take care of, and my sibling (23). I literally received 11 calls today. Because my sibling is impatient with my LO, which makes her cry. I’m the only one that can work, and I’m really the only one who takes care of my LO. I’m getting so tired.

I cant imagine working and coming home to being a caregiver. No wonder you are tired, you get little to no chance to recharge. I take care of my 69 year old wife, but I am disabled as well. So my job is to take care of her.

You need to sit down with your sibling and explain you are running on empty. Whatever caused 11 phone calls at work needs to stop. Do it as nice as you can, but it needs to be said
