Vent or annoyance or something

So as I've mentioned I take care of my uncle. He has cerebral palsy. He's high functioning but can't drive and therefore it's hard for him to live alone. It's like living with a 12 year old.
Yesterday he got his flu shot and he walked around holding his arm saying "it aches so much, I'm going to go lay down but not on my arm. Elizabeth, my arm hurts I can't play with the blocks." On and on. My daughter didn't throw this much of a fit and she's one.
It's probably my hormone induced short fuse.

Re: Vent or annoyance or something
That has to be so tough. I am a teacher and have several high functioning special ed children in my class. I've noticed that my hormones are making it harder for me to be patient.
Just remember you are such a wonderful blessing to him - even on that days that it's really hard for you and you don't feel patient.
What you are doing is a hard task though and I think it's OK to admit that it can be really trying at times.

I'm sorry that has been hard for you. My dad's girlfriend's daughter has cerebral palsy. I would say she is also high functioning since she can be left alone for a few hours, but her mentality is equal to about a 7 or 8 year old. I see her very rarely but she can be trying on your patience. She apologizes all the time when it's not necessary, constantly asks for things she knows she isn't allowed to have and will do things like make herself throw up or threaten to jump out of the moving car if she doesn't want to do something.
I know she loves her with all her heart, but I really don't know how my dad's gf does it sometimes. Huge kudos to you for caring for your uncle, he is very lucky to have you.
