Okay now I'm going to interject too haha because I've been following this thread for a while. I totally get what you're saying Bec, it is really hard to wake up, and when you're depressed it's hard to do anything at all. I've been immobilized for 3 days straight now. But I would never expect Mum and Dad to wake me up on a day they were supposed to have off and be doing fun things together or having a break. I can't expect them to constantly be doing things for me. If we had a family business where I agreed to work one day and it was too much for me, I wouldn't expect them to make sure I got to work on time every single week. If I had chronic trouble with it, I would arrange to go to work later or I would ask to not work anymore. Jen has offered to hire someone on her day off, and her husband refuses, and I think that's unreasonable. He can't have it both ways. I don't know, those are just my thoughts on it. I try to take some responsibility for my actions. If I'm not feeling well I just say so and I don't expect my family to prod me to do things.
