I like to fish. My mother(in-law) in a lawyer. I am a lawyer. I know a lot about computers. I am an intern working with computers. I have bad skin. I am looking for skincare tips. I like to cook. I work during the day. I don't see my parents often. I have five children. My kids are all under 14. My wife takes care of my children during the day.
I am an actress and work at a grocery store. I enjoy dressing other people. I know about fashion. I am obsessed with skin care. I take great care of my skin. I do not like cooking. I don't cook so that I won't get burned. My mother cooks for me. My mother lives nearby. I like to choose her clothes for her. My mother does not have a partner. My mother has alzheimers. I have no siblings.
I have decided to get some help for my wife with the kids. Looking after five is just too much on her own. I think that's a great idea.  What kind of help are you getting? I'm going to ask her if she'd like kid help or housekeeping help. Or both! It's a shame caregivers who are relatives don't get paid. Yes, and caregiving is becoming such a big part of life, and a strain on people.  Balancing work with taking care of old people or young people or both.  Everyone has so much on their plates these days. Exactly! What do you think about the idea of a universal basic income? I haven't thought that much about it, to be honest.  I could certainly use some more money, and help with my mother.  I'm really not sure how much longer I'll be able to take care of her if she starts developing serious Alzheimer's symptoms. I'm sorry, that's a very hard position to be in. Have you looked into getting any caregiving help from the state? I haven't.  Is that type of thing available?  I need to start looking into these things while my mother is still able to live and function on her own. Yes! My wife's grandmother was able to have full-time caregiving in the last couple of years of her life. I'm sure there are a lot of hoops to jump through, but definitely look into it. Oh, wow, that could be a real godsend.  I'll definitely look into it.  I think my mother would like to stay in her home as long as she could, too, so it would be fantastic to be able to get someone to come into the home to help out. Yes, her grandmother had in-home care and it was such a huge relief to us. It's so much more comfortable for the elderly. That's wonderful.  At some point I suppose I need to have a conversation about this stuff with my mother, but I'm afraid how she'll react.  I don't think she likes to face the fact that she's aging.  None of us do.
