20 Memes For That Explain Our Caregiver Career Frustrations

Work/life balance and all that 🙃

It’s not impossible to have a career while be a caregiver… But let’s be real, it could be a whole lot easier if our families (medically complex and disabled kids included!) got the adequate support we need and deserve.

1 | It’s a tough spot.

2 | Welp…

3 | Is it though…

4 | So… where does that leave us?

5 | Thanks for the great advice…

6 | What even is normal?

7 | What they say vs what they do…

8 | Thanks for taking away this super helpful program!

9 | Balance? What’s that?

10 | I mean, it’s helpful, but it’s not magic.

11 | Again… the hypocrisy.

12 | I mean, who needs to eat or pay for hoursing, right?

13 | Tempting fate every time…

14 | Feels impossible.

15 | they didn’t cover this in school.

16 | I guess I’ll just be paying this forever.

17 | I love you, but more freedom would be nice.

18 | These states are killing us.

19 | Give us a break, folks!!

20 | I think you’re overestimating what paid caregiving gives you…
