Hi Grandmother,

What a load you have to bear, but I'm sure you don't begrudge a second of your time, or a grain of your love. It would certainly be a shock to my system if I was given those responsibilities for a 15 mth old baby -nappies; daycare, toilet training, and you are still manageing to escape to work part-time. How are the girls coping with the changes in the household?

I can't help with your question I'm afraid, but the advice you were given re carers payments for the girls is spot on. I would get in touch with the Dept of Community Services, or families or whatever they have in your state, and see if there is any he;p available there.

All the best,

Jacqui.

If I am not mistaken, you should be getting carers payment for your 2 as well as they should be getting disability payment. I am not sure what you should be getting for your grandson tho

Wow! I really admire you! You must be so busy. I can only begin to imagine how much you must be doing, cooking, cleaning, washing ect.....

In my opion you should be entitled to 100%, and i have worked as a family sicologist, so i have dealed with many cases such as this. Are you living in Australia? Becuase rules and regulations are different aroudn the world.

Say calm and best of luck, know that you are not alone, develope routines and goodluck!
