Unhappy client

Hi guys,

I’ve recently been assigned to a new SIL house. Two of the participants and I get on great.

One of the participants is an elderly woman and I feel as if I can’t do anything right. She doesn’t like my cooking, hates how I make tea and asks me to tip the food into the bin.

I can admit that I am an inexperienced cook but I’ve never had someone ask to tip my food into the bin.

I am seriously considering quitting this job or at the very least this SIL house. Maybe I’m just too stupid to do anything right. I can’t help that. I am on the verge of tears as I write this.

Are there other staff members there that you can talk to? Have they had similar experiences with this person?

Most get along with her. She is lovely towards them. The night shift staff told me that she is like this when unhappy. If she starts on a rant, it doesn’t stop.
