Don’t get it

Have you ever noticed people sometimes mean well but they do not understand what you are going through. I have received advice on how to deal with dad from people who have no clue what it is to live with my Father in Law. I find myself sometimes frustrated with people thinking oh you can work full time and leave dad alone. The greatest one is well maybe your dad could go and work at McDonalds, give me a break he 88 almost and can barely hold his balance it would be like him trying to sale

Dad has been retired, I get dad needs to do something during the day. I get I need a break but this isn’t a safe break. I know people mean well but you know if they haven’t dealt with it they don’t know. They don’t know what it like to wake up at 2 or 3 in the morning with dad trying to leave the house and go somewhere. They have no clue about the fear of what if he gets out of the house and I don’t wake up. He might get ran over because we have a main road. These fear haven’t happened yet and they may never happen but there are always there. The other fear is we can leave Dad with a friend but what if he cusses at them or makes a pass at their wife or girl friend. How do you explain something like this to people without experience.
