young carers

[zzxxee]

What are your opinions on young carers who look after sick parents with disabilities
and long term health problems?
Just watched breakfast t.v where an 8 year old gets her mums breakfast does the washing washes her mum ect
her mum is overweight and suffers from depression. This is 2010 For Funks Sake no 8 year old should be doing this what life is that
opinions and thoughts please

That's what I mean Ummm, your son gets up at 6 because he wants to and if you happen to still be asleep then he wakes you up. He is not getting up at 6 because you rely on him doing that.
