my children are not carers, but, my family from several generations are
tought that they are part of a family and everyone helps out. i help the
kids with their algebra, but am not a teacher. they put in a light or mow a
lawn does not make them handymen or carers. just family helping each other.,
i guess it is each persons way of thinking about things.

Same problem here. When I get any rewiring done I get them to put
those little spots on a track - they are not all going to blow at
once. Although I don't live on my own (wife (also CP), 3 kids (non
CP)), and the kids are 13, 17 & 22, it is a family rule that me and
Lin don't ask them to do things we can't do ourselves - their kids
not carers.
