Interesting posts on there,I hope my readers check it out. <br /><br />Anyway, you ask a really good question, one that deserves more than a brief answer so I may do a post on it. For now, I'd say that having a friend as a caregiver certainly requires forethought, but has worked for me in instances both where the person was my friend before he/she was a caregiver and after he/she became a caregiver- it has to be a friend with whom you have good communication and can be honest about your needs - and theirs and also honest about boundaries. Not only can it get to be about not upsetting your friend, but it can be a problem where they burn out because they dont want to say no to you. <br /><br />I think this requires a blog post. Hope that somewhat answers your question for now - have a good weekend!<br /><br />RuthRuthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00170658770134559035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31220410.post-69621689802152840782012-12-07T23:05:19.668-05:002012-12-07T23:05:19.668-05:00I wanted to comment, partly to let you know that I...I wanted to comment, partly to let you know that I read your blog but rarely have anything to say because you generally say it all.<br /><br />The description above this video, however, does make me curious. Wouldn't having a friend as a caregiver be awkward? It seems as if it would mean that the quality of care he receives would be dependent on not upsetting his friend. Is that wrong?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
