Kayo Otani living in Hiroshima and Kure City.She has been busy preparing for two elementary school children in preparation and doing housework since early in the morning.[Image] I went after sending out elementary school children ... Kayo Otani: Today I got up at 5 o'clock, and my husband left (house) at about 5:30, so my eldest daughter Natsu Rin -chan was 4 years old.He suffered from brain illness and mild sequelae remained.I'm a little not good at moving my arithmetic and my body.Two children who were ready earlier than usual.When he sees the children, Otani starts to move immediately with a tray.I went to my parents' house 10 meters away.My mother, Kuniko (78), is "Need for Care 2", which cannot be walked by himself.In addition to preparing meals, Otani's assistance is indispensable for three toilets a day.My father, Takashige, tends to withdraw home after having lung cancer.Recently, symptoms of dementia have appeared.(Q.Is it a situation that two people can't live?) Kayo Otani: That's right.My father doesn't think so, but first of all, my mother's toilet is impossible.My father says, "I can use a diaper," but who will change the diaper? I don't know that.I do it in the morning, noon, and evening, and it's a pity to think for myself if the toilet is actually three times.But I can do it three times ... Otani, who has finished the morning care, has no time to breathe and goes to a convenience store where she gets into the car and works in a part -time time.Kayo Otani: I have a parent and a child, so I want to work at home using a computer.Even if you talk to people, only your parents even if you talk.After working for a 4 -hour work that is bright (you), you'll be ready for your parents' lunch.Kayo Otani: Pack udon is embarrassing, but when nursing care is settled down, the children return home.On this day, in a nearby field to take vegetables used for dinner.Most of the waking hours are "double care" that is applied to "nursing care" and "childcare".The day we interviewed was still "peaceful."Kayo Otani: When Natsu Rin is difficult, I know that Ryosho is very patient and working harder than necessary.I want to do it somehow.But I can't always think about that.I always feel like I have to do my parents.I can't think about this slowly for a day
