[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 339215, member: 1991"] Sharon/LDM, you're right, he's supposed to do a bit more - he's supposed to at least pick up stuff so I can put it away. I have difficulty if I bend over to pick stuff up from low down - balance problems. Past cleaners will pick up for me and put it all in one heap, even obvious rubbish such as crumpled paper, elastic bands etc. I also have cushions in stacks (alternative seating/lounging for bulk kids watching movies) which at times difficult child 3 leaves lying spread out. It's easy to toss them back into a stack when it's time to vacuum, but this guy just vacuums around them. Or the crumpled papers or elastic bands - he just tries to run the vacuum cleaner over it. So it clogs, with something as small as one elastic band, which then snags everything else to follow. But vacuuming up a giant rainbow-coloured scrunchie AND not realising it, is what finished me with the guy. I remember when I tried to teach him how to squeegee windows - after one attempt I have permanent scratches in the window glass and one of my mirrors because he really is a klutz. So over time he gets to do less and less, because I can't trust him to not wreck stuff. People from this agency are also supposed to help with self-care, if it's needed. Thankfully I don't need it. Not from him. When I need it, I get husband's help! Marg [/QUOTE]
