Caregiver or visitor?

I came across a ridiculous blog where the daughter of the woman in a nursing home is calling herself a "caregiver" please.......obviously oblivious to the definition of the word caregiver. And ignorant of the facts of caregiving. Visiting your mother in a nursing home does not make you a caregiver. how misinformed. or delusional.She's at best a visitor. Caregiving involves blood, sweat and tears. Many people across this country are dealing with taking care of elderly in their own homes. Balancing that with a job is caregiving. Finding time to even shop for household supplies is a challenge. All this broad needs to do is get dressed and drive. How bout bathing your mom, doing laundry, getting/giving  medications, balancing appointments,being responsible for her finances etc. plus work your own job? that makes a caregiver.there are some who have the moral fortitude to take care of their own rather than let someone else do it and then there are people who really dont understand whats involved cause they dont want to understand. just be selfish and let some stranger do it for you. i personally was told by three doctors and a discharge nurse to put my mother in a nursing home. would not do it. could not do it. no matter how much i was told to. i couldnt live with myself. now this broad crowing cause her mother is in a nursing home and she calls herself a caregiver. what a joke.
