Just don't know where to post this, but I am getting VERY frustrated/angry with my personal care attendant! She is supposed to do the following things for me: help me make meals, help with showering, dressing and other related things,go with me to dr.'s appointment when necessary, do my laundry, clean both my room and bathroom plus clean up my dishes from the meals. She has developed some BAD habits that are just pissing me off! First, off her cleaning style is awful! Unless I specifically state what I want cleaned in the bathroom (ie. cleaning under the stuff on the counter) it just doesn't get done at all! Next is her cell phone habits. One of her more favorite tricks is getting on the cell phone while I am in the shower and keeps on talking even when she is getting me out! This happens on a regular basis. Next on my list, is her use of the computer. It is my parents and she is allowed to use it, but it has been come a problem. Yesterday, she got on a computer game and I had to wait for almost 15 minutes for her to get to a point in the game where she could stop to make me lunch! Her computer habits are also affecting her performance. On Wednesday she has 6 hours to help me with my basic morning routine (shower, dress, etc.), clean my room and do my laundry. She didn't get all my laundry done on Wednesday because she was too busy playing on the computer! I wanted to wear this particular outfit for St. Paddy's Day, but it wasn't dry until Thursday when she got to the wash. Too late for me to choose it as something to wear that day! Top this all off and what REALLY pisses me off is this. Yesterday, I suggested to my Mom that she check out Craigslist for help with the yard work she wanted done. Of course, my PCA HAD to put her two cents into the conversation. She said don't do that because you may get robbed - they basically are all crooks on that list. Yet I know she has been on those internet dating sites and has talked to some men that are REAL crooks! She doesn't give them any personal information or money (she doesn't have any), but yet she still does it! I want/need to talk to my Mom about this - but not today because she is working. I will wait till tomorrow to talk to her about this, but I need some advice as to what to say to my Mom because she likes her very much. Can anybody give me some suggestions? Thank You!
