Yeah, caretaker type stuff can take some getting used to but you adapt. The people that go into the field though, that do it for several people are saints. At least the ones that actually care, not the neglectful ones.

Yeah there are so many horror stories. It's the reason my mom won't hire anyone for my dad.

There's probably some decent ones, but it's probably a gamble. It was really strange with what happened with my mother, the case worker sent us to some retirement centers for some reason...not at all what she needed. But seeing them in person was such a reality check. Same thing with my grandfather.

Those have reports of abuse all the time on TV, too D:

Yeah, it seems like it happens even at the higher end facilities. Part time nurses you can at least get a better idea with maybe.

On the other hand I get it, even I lose my cool sometimes, and I'm a very patient person xDD you gotta be really zen to work with them. Like lil kids, but they're not cute.

lmao lil kids ain't cute, either

Of course they are
so plump
don't you feel like eating them

Babies are weird. Animals are far cuter.

I agree with you
animals can also take care of themselves

But what about when they are babies?

They start taking care of themselves earlier xD
when they can't, they still ugly

Speaking as someone that was a long term facility caregiver for three years, there is an appalling number of people out there that are just in it for the paycheck, but there are also amazing people that really honestly care. If you're wanting to make sure that your loved one gets some of the best care possible, contact the National Association of Heath Care Assistants and check to see if there is a facility or individual in your area that they suggest.

Also babies are delicious right at a year old, they're big enough to be an actual meal, but still tender.

Is there an association like that in Brazil
asking for a friend
jk asking for myself

But puppies and kittens are cute straight from the womb. Birds do have an ugly stage, though. Even baby warthogs are cute.

Baby turtles and snakes are cute and are expected to take care of themselves straight from hatching. If they can't then they die.
