My dad was involved in an accident about 6 weeks ago, where he has a broken leg, and the other with torn ligaments. Life is very difficult for him at the moment, and I have been running after him hand and foot since he got out of hospital, as well as attending uni and my part-time job, and also looking after the dogs that he keeps. I am also responsible for the upkeep of the house. He has to use a walking frame to help him get about the house etc.
When he first got out, although many things were a struggle for him, he was able to do them - e.g. get his own breakfast. Now, however, as it is a struggle for him, he resorts to getting me to do most things for him - i.e. cooking and bringing him meals/coffees etc.
I just had a major argument with him, as I feel that he is doing very little to help himself, and the more that I do for him, the less that he is willing to do. From my perspective, if he starts doing more, he will learn to cope with it. Am I being too harsh on him?
