Well behaviour in all breeds can be challenging!!!!!!!
I am frustrated also with the brain injured lad. I cannot being to explain how exaspirated we are. As I posted we got offered a bungalow for him. The place he is in is fully furnished but it is not his and it doesn;t have a proper tenancy agreement so its insecure. We did not advocate his move to that place he instigated it himself giving up the flat we got him and everything in it because he didn;t like the folk who moved in below him. So this time we got his name on the local authority listing and because he is disabled he somehow got offered this place - others have to wait years to get a place. He doesn;t see this? So anyhow I am going round tomorrow to clean the kitchen. DH has been frantically trying to source basic furniture for him. - You know suite and a decent bed. The lad has no idea of the amount of work required for him to move to this place. I mean Dh and I will work so hard and DH is already falling over with tiredness. I have to scrub the kitchen and floors and bathroom and let the boiler men in to fix the heating. DH has to strip the walls and either pait or paper them, we also have to buy and lay carpets. With help and hopefully input from the lad - (If we can cope with the attitude!) Then I have to go shopping and buy all that is required Pots,pans cutlery crockery EVERYTHING!!!!!! Down to dish clothes as he has NOTHING!!!!!! Agh!!!!!!!!!!! Today he turned up demanding to be taken to the new place to paint but DH is so tired so we said not today - !!!!!!! He ended up sulking so much that DH just took him round to "check on the place!"
At the moment I am caring for his Rabbit as its eye got somehow damaged. - It still looks cloudy but I am hoping part of that is that the thing has been in the shed a good while recovering. I have been giving it eye drops from the Vet. The lad took one look at the Rabbit and said - "I will give it two more weeks and if its no better I will snap its neck????" Agh!!!!!! So I told him off and said he may leave it with me if he has that attitude. ( I have a grandaughter who would love a bunny one eye or two!) I had to patiently explain that even if it is blind in one eye it will adapt and it is not in pain and does not need to be put down. I took him out to the yard to show him it. But he was not happy telling me it was bought as a "house rabbit" !!!! Well let me tell you it ain't gonna be no house rabbit in this house! Rabbits belong in the yard and in the shed if they are sick or its rally cold. Not running round the house!!!!!!! He was not happy saying it wont know how to live outside. - Well it has been living out there ok for a while now and it sure don;t look dead to me. It was also a bag of bones when I got it so it is now being fed the correct diet and is well bigger and fatter. I just find it so stressfull trying to cope with his brain injury and his inability to think things through and his general ungratefullness. But why I don;t know because he is brain damaged so what can I expect? I so wish that he had been given the funding to stay at the Farm - it would have been so much easier than this because as you can see even though he has carers the brunt of looking after him is still with us. I cannot see us moving away or going away for too long while he is not in a care facillity. I was hoping both boys would go into a care facility - I so want to take DH to Spaine for about 6 weeks to recover and get well. But no hope of that at the moment.
Oh well they are back so I will away .
