My Take On This
I have been watching/reading this thread with great interest and I just have a few thoughts.
No, I am not really considering this, but I personally would LOVE to have a personal assistant living in our house. As I read Sheri's original post, I believe that is exactly what she is indicating she would like to do, as opposed to caring for an elderly person.
I am a fully functioning, healthy, fiercely independent, intelligent, capable woman with a chronically ill husband. We do have wonderful caregivers for my husband, but absolutely everything about running this house, another house that we own, medical appointments, insurance, cooking dinner, maintaining the car, paying bills, answering the phone, etc, etc. - I could go on and on - falls to me.
Several times a month, I have someone come in to help me for a few hours with all the things that I have to do, but having a live-in personal assistant sounds wonderful.
Just my take on how I read Shari's post.
