This is going to be somewhat of a rant. There is a couple I follow on social media. The wife is the full-time caregiver for her husband. This person requires A LOT of care. The wife posted their "me time" activities, such as doing puzzles, watching TV, going out in nature, etc. and then at the end revealed that all of those activities involved her husband doing them with her.

Well, great for her. This couple can afford a lot of accommodations, including two homes.

How is this helpful? What is the point of that? Of course, there are those who can afford a ton of help and those who can't. I don't believe for one minute that she never has a respite without him. It's helpful for many of us to see others involved in caregiving, but when such blatant misrepresentation of what our lives actually look like is being put out there as some kind of standard, that couple is now unfollowed.
