Hi everyone I was wondering what I should do in this situation. My support worker asked for Nurofen or Panadol randomly in our shift and asked if I had any. Is this normal? Do I give it to her? I’m not sure I felt a bit uncomfortable but I don’t know I’m still new :)
Thank you!
I’ve been having a bit of trouble with my support worker and was wondering if this sort of behaviour is normal. I go to the shops a lot and sometimes she will ask to go in a shop I’m not too keen on to look at things herself like check the price of an item she saw in the window or get something she needs for home. I also realised she has gotten herself a drink through a drive through during an errand I asked of her to pick some things up for me. This makes me worried as she’s taking up some of our time getting a personal item whilst I’m not there. Is this normal am I overreacting? I’m not sure I’m pretty new to support workers! Thank you
Edit: I have physical disabilities. Doing these detours, I would need to accompany her which would mean my body is hurting over something I don’t want to do and they know that.
