My mum went on her first foreign holiday in 30 years a week ago, and she's due back in 5 days, my dad (as lovely as he is) is useless!
He won't wash/cook/clean (he won't even have the heating on) and living in Manchester in the UK. It's chilly!
So I have adopted the role of mum even though she told my Dad to do that- he hasn't really. I'm working two jobs juggling Univesity and placements for University whilst running a house?
Okay I know loads of you will think it's a taste of real life, and I suppose it is.
But, my Dad said one thing he would take care of is the meals and so far 3 nights out of 5 we had Kebabs, another night he went to a chip shop (I didn't have that) and the other night I cooked!
So my Crohns is up the WALL!
Today (Saturday 8:30am) I had a Crohns 'accident' probably due to all this crap food. I was due in work in 15 minutes. My Dad was out working, I was completely on my own!
I had never dealt with this before (spoilt brat alert) My mum had always been here to help me. Aged 20 I shit myself and I had no idea what to do!
Stripped my bed, the bathroom, all of my clothes and threw them in the washer, had to ring work to say I'd be late. Cried down the phone to one of my colleagues at my pure embarrassment of the situation.
Now I'm sat here, everything's clean. I've coped with it.
I need to get off to work.
But I realise now how much having family around you can help with a condition like this.
Never thought this was how I'd start my Saturday Morning!
