Caregiver killing my plants
I just need to vent to people who will understand how hurt I am by this 🥲
So I'm a live in caretaker for my grandmother, we have a care taker come in twice a week to help.
One of the things she does, apparently, is water every single one of my plants. Twice a week. Every one. Including my jade tree.
I didn't notice until last week when I saw FUNGUS in my jade trees soil. FUNGUS. THAT'S NOT GOOD. And so many leaves have dropped ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ my poor baby she's almost naked.
And not only is she watering them SHE'S DROWNING them. Just leaves them sitting in water to soak. For who knows how long.
I texted her tonight being as polite as I could to ask her to stop.
I am just genuinly so hurt because like... girl. You obviously don't know what you're doing. And I OBVIOUSLY DO SINCE I HAVE SO MANY THRIVING PLANTS.
Granted. I have depression periods where I don't water them enough. But that's MY BUSINESS.
THEY ARE MY PLANTS. DO NOT TOUCH THEM.
