i have a question for you guys. i want to know if i was right at being upset last night. i will first give you background info then tell ya what happened.
with the program i am on when i live with my parents i have respite hours. those hours are used for me to have my attendants take care of me if parents want/need to go out of town. i use those on top of my normal hours i have. so this weekend i have used them.
here is what happened: friday when we found out my parents needed to go out of town i called my night attendant(she also does weekend hours) and told her what was going on and the hours i needed her to work this weekend. she was fine with it. then friday night i went over the hours again to make sure she was fine with it. she said ok that shed work and they were fine. these are the hours she was to work: friday 6-12(normal hours 8-12), saturday 9-1 6-12(normal hours 9-12 8-12), sunday 8-1 6-10:30(normal hours 9-12 8:30-10:30). saturday morning she was saying that it was alot of hours. then saturday night she asked at 7 that she is only gonna have 6 hours of sleep and will be tired on sunday and wants off at 11 since she has to be here sunday at 8 and needs her rest.
i was upset last night because her hours are 8-12 and i wanted to stay up till midnight not 11. my brother was out too and i didn't even know if hed be back by then and i felt bad that i had to bug him to come home an hour earlier than he had too. i don't know maybe im making it more than i should but it made me mad. i was like do i need someone else to come in so you can have your rest and she was like no i just need to get home because i need my rest
She agreed to those hrs on fri. so I think you have a right to be mad.
thank you
