[@idesign8]

Thank you sooo much I truly appreciate you!!! 🥰

[@keambranequal]

Next time go through a professional staffing agency. Those ppl are fans so of course they’re not going to take it seriously. I’m so happy to see you and I hope your mom has a speedy recovery ❤️‍🩹

[@idesign8]

Someone suggested that and I should've listened lol but thank you soo much love! I truly appreciate you 🥰

[@candiblue9280]

So sorry about your mom😢I have diabetes too type 2 ❤❤❤ glad ur mom is doing better with her healing my mom had 2 strokes this year I do worry about her but my brother and sister are taking care of her thank god. Yes gurl take care of yourself too so therapy is a great for you❤ love the video.

[@nellinblue33]

Glad your mom is better. Keeping you all in 🙏🏽.

[@SAS-tn4zn]

I understand not wanting to be the caretaker. It's extremely difficult. I'm 41 years old. When I was 26 I gave birthday to twins by C-section. Two or three months later my family and I found out my grandma (my mother's mom) had uterine cancer. The doctors gave her a hysterectomy. You know who they had take care of my grandma? Me!! Now mind you my grandma have 5 children and 11 grandchildren including me. I had to care for my grandma all while being a first time mom with twins. I love my grandma more than words can express. But that's doesn't change the fact that my family should have helped and they did not. My family did not call to make sure I was good taking care of their mom while taking care of two newborn babies. Life can definitely throw hands at you at time.

[@Pre0115]

You did GREAT! But…. You shouldn’t have had to do that! That is way too much responsibility on one person!

[@SAS-tn4zn]

@@Pre0115 thank you 😊

[@mbali4369]

Thank you for speaking on caregiving as a young woman. I’m also an only child to a single mom and having to take up this role depresses so much and the fact that I have these thoughts also entraps me with guilt of not being a good daughter albeit I know I am. It’s hindered my plans to live as a digital nomad and that fills me with so much sadness too. This was the most relatable share thank you for speaking on it cause I’ve felt lonely dealing with it and afraid to speak my mind.

[@idesign8]

Of course! I always want to remind you that if you're going through something, you’re not alone. I truly understand the feeling, and while I wish our circumstances were different, I believe these challenges are meant to make us stronger and serve a purpose. One of the best pieces of advice I've ever received is to live your life fully and not let anything hold you back, because the last thing you want is to look back with regret. Do what you can for your loved ones, but don’t lose sight of taking care of yourself, too. I’ll be keeping you in my prayers, love. 💕

[@mbaligumede6324]

Thank you for replying. I receive these words. You’re in my prayers too. Wishing healing and better health for your mom too. 💛

[@iamdraskb]

Good to hear that your mother is doing better. Thank you for sharing. I can relate to your story in many ways. My mom went through a similar process years ago and I stuck by her throughout it all. It wasn’t always easy, so I understand your sentiments. It’s good you have a therapist to help you through tough times and life’s challenges on your journey. I wish you and your mom well and sending prayers for her healing 🙏🏾❤️

[@truetotash]

Thank you soo much love ❤️

[@youtube.comybvv]

Praying for you , mom and the family. Being a caregiver is a lot on anyone. It isn't for the faint in heart. Glad that therapy is helping you . I'm also thinking about finding one. If you can, can you share more details on the therapy or how you found the one that you are talking to.

[@idesign8]

Omg it isn't & def. a learning curve! I so appreciate you - thank you 🥰 & Yes! I will def. share more information about therapy!!

Heyyy! Happy Hump Day 🥰

[@niyadanyalle]

Definitely will keep you in my prayers! Unfortunately my father went through the exact thing and his toes had to be amputated😢 we went through so much with his health so this is so understandable…also, sooo happy to see you back on here🫶🏾

[@idesign8]

Hey Love, Thank you so much for watching and for your prayers! It breaks my heart to see our loved ones face such difficult health challenges & it's even harder knowing how the medical system fails us every day. I’m keeping you in my prayers as well. Thanks again for your support! 🥰

[@allthingsbrittany]

I'm also in my thirties and going through the same thing with my parents. I'm struggling with living my life and also being there for them. It's very overwhelming! Love your video, I'm glad your mom is home and recovering ❤❤

[@Vicksstyless]

Glad your mom is doing well🙏 excited for vlogtober💗

[@idesign8]

Hey love!! Thank you so much ❤️

[@Aoneofone88]

So glad to hear your mom is doing better & glad to see u back vlogging when u can ❤ I completely understand what you meant with being an only child & still wanting to be there but not as the “primary” person… it’s a very relatable & difficult thing to navigate, but those of us who get it are processing the healthy & best decisions either way. ❤ Side note- how r u going to mention our nephew & not give him some camera time? lol.. We miss him but understand he’s been a little under the weather 💙 🐕

[@kamelah1]

You are absolutely correct they did delay care. They possibly did a angiogram on her leg. Your mom being a Diabetic has a higher risk of infection especially to the feet. It’s important to wear diabetic socks and shoes to prevent wounds on the feet. Check for cuts on the legs and feet can she can get an infection. You have to live your life, and there is nothing wrong with that. Prayers for your mom! Keep up the good work

[@honeyBee-up3jp]

Girl.. I'm here talking to you(when you were doing your updates)as if you can hear meee😂. I'm glad you're backkk and i do hope your mom continues to improve❤❤❤

Thank you so much 🥰

[@shontayharrell4850]

Hi Luv!! I definitely understand what you’re saying and sometimes we are thrown curve balls in life and we just have to take it one day at a time. We only have one mother and one father biologically and as they get older we will face those trying times. Continue to stay strong and know that he will not put more on you than you can bare. Continued prayers and blessings for you and yours❤❤

[@idesign8]

Thank you soo much love ❤️

[@sharisweet]

Not me one minute in! I’m never this early 👏🏾

[@danadurham2409]

Hey design praying 🙏 for your mom to get well soon

[@idesign8]

Thank you soo much!! 🥰

[@desmamccormick-singleton8275]

First of all, so happy to hear your Mother is on the mend. Prayers for her quick recovery! I totally understand the woes with diabetes because my Mom is a diabetic as well. 🙏🏽❤️ Now, this “assistant”… People are weird. WEIRD. If she had a problem with it, be an adult and say something! I sure wish I had seen this job offer because I would’ve been THE ONE for you! However, no love lost. Maybe the other candidate will reach back out. If not, open the application back up! Hopefully I don’t miss it this time. Lol, as always it’s nice to see you!

[@idesign8]

Thank you soo much love for your comment!! I pray for you and your mom ❤️ & girllll the whole assistant situation was soo weird. I wish she would've communicated but you can't expect that from people now-a-days. lol I put the position on hold but I def. would do some things differently if I do this again. Thanks for watching!

[@LuxOnaBudg8]

I really love this video ❤❤❤❤

[@jab0623]

Hey sis I’m glad your mom is recovering! I, too, believe she was neglected and delayed in getting medical attention she needed. Girl, I was so heartbroken hearing your assistant story. What I hate most is that she wasted your time and fumbled your trust! Perhaps using an agency of some sort will help you next time. I’ve missed hearing you talk about your doggie! Your apartment looks so relaxing and chic! Thanks for sharing. Yes, I submitted a Sephora testimonial!❤

[@acrsims8989]

I can completely relate! I’m in the caretaker role of my life in my early thirties as well. Thanks for sharing.

[@idesign8]

Praying for you love - thanks for watching love ❤️

[@MirleneFevrier]

I'm not the only child, but I became a caregiver when my mom got sick, I can relate because I did not want to be the caregiver. ❤

[@idesign8]

yeaaa - I know sometimes it's out of our control and it can suck but I do hope you had some sort of support b/c it can get hard sometimes. 🥹

[@MirleneFevrier]

@idesign8 Thank you. My support system was my boyfriend.

[@niaradevere8360]

I agree exactly what you're saying I took care of my grandmother. And after that I said I was done my mom is older she's 62. And she will have a home health aide of course I'm still going to go visit her bring her lunch and stuff but I would not be her soul caretaker. That is a lot to put on a person

[@mizzluvthehair]

That’s crazy! I’m sorry you went through that. Why on earth would someone just ghost like that? I guess you dodged a bullet since there was clearly something wrong with that person 😅

[@idesign8]

Okayyy it was just so weird more than anything lol but I def. think It was protection from something so I'm not mad at it. lol

[@cicilewis2043]

heyyyy beautiful..Prayers to your mom for a healthy life.

[@idesign8]

Heyyy beautyyy!! Thanks soo much 🥰

[@jadeihendricks]

Sending you prayers and wishing a speedy recovery for your mom! For Zane, has the vet suggested allergy meds for your dog? My pup has allergies too and I am able to give her a 1/4 of an allergy pill (like Zyrtec) twice a day.

[@idesign8]

Thank you so much love!! He gets a shot every 6mo-1yr but I'm trying to take a more natural approach lol. We will see how that goes. Thanks so much for sharing love - I will look into it still. 🥰

[@renadoll6089]

And coconut oil on the paw to moisturize

[@idesign8]

Thanks soo much!! 🥰

[@chineloeverest2927]

I enjoyed watching this 😊❤

[@idesign8]

Thank you! 🤗 I appreciate you!

[@cicilewis2043]

So proud of you Daiquan to be in a position to hire an assistant. If you can help it DON'T hire an assistant cause I sense you like me, very private and I have a hard time trusting people NDA or not. Try to adjust things to where you can handle it all by yourself or your team. Best of luck huns!..your hair style is pretty and nails. what brand hair you use for hair extension please?

[@koolinwitkiki3028]

I was gonna suggest probably adding some warm organic bone broth to Zayne's kibbles to soften it a lil and add a lil flavor. Now I am not sure if that is entirely safe for him so plz research on your own to see if that is okay for him.

[@katrinaburch4243]

Your Mom will understand, nobody want people doing anything for them if they don't want to be there, we can feel it. Don't feel guilty she will love you regardless that's what Mom's do

[@idesign8]

Yes, she definitely understands. My dad is her primary caretaker, but since I’m an only child, he relies on me to be there as well. It’s not that I don’t want to be there -it's just that I’m also trying to live my own life, and balancing both can be challenging. That said, I really appreciate your feedback, and thank you so much for watching!

[@ghanaianqueen7891]

Heyy boo! Wishing your mom a speedy recovery! My dog has bad seasonal allergies as well. He gets an allergy shot from the vet every 4 weeks and it has done wonders!! You should ask your vet about it , mine gets Cytopoint . it may help

[@idesign8]

Hey Love!! Yess, Zayne gets Cytopoint as well. He's due for another one lol. I hate injecting him and wish I could find a natural route but I will do this for now. Thanks love for watching 🥰

[@acrsims8989]

Try placing the stems more to the bottom

[@deniseoates7147]

I been doing some form of this for over 15 years now for my mom and not only child. Caregiving life is a real sacrifice especially when it comes around in the early years of your life. If you were working in an office your time for her would be limited. You need to find out what services are available by the state and make sure your mom does everything that her body is capable to. Get her primary Dr. or whoever does it for your state get your mom meal on wheels, so she has option to grab from freezer to microwave. There are also share a ride option to get her to the doctor if she not driving. Drug stores can mail prescriptions. pay er bills on-line and set up er medical accounts on line so you can keep track of dates and appointments and results of testing. I hate that happen with the job new hire and yes she should have let you know when she realized that she could not take the job because that happens (If she has children, or another job, etc.) On the kitchen counter the vase floral is too high and need to be taken off the tray (sit beside it) it all up in the ceiling light. Nice take on Autumn decor added to areas. Store already got Christmas stuff out. LOL!

[@MauriceK-fr9wh]

Great tips on how to juggle it all.

[@Testimonioyfeunicas]

Why is she so pretty though 😮❤

[@idesign8]

[@katj8120]

🖤🖤🖤

[@nc3919]

Omg please check your mother’s heart as well! My dad had congestive heart failure and blood circulation is a big symptom. He constantly had wounds on his lower extremities.

[@idesign8]

Thank so much - we will!! Praying for you and your family ❤️

[@renadoll6089]

So sorry about your Mom 😢

[@idesign8]

Thank you Love 💕

[@DeanNrown129]

If you still need a assistant I live in Charlotte & Would love too

[@idesign8]

Hey love! The position is currently on hold but I will def. let you know if I do 🥰

[@v.velarde3694]

Being a caregiver is very hard and I understand your plight. However, I recommend you asking family to chip in and/or coming together to find your mom in-home companion care or an aide. That will really assist you with not being tied up 24/7 with her care.

[@deeluther3108]

Praying For your mom Recovery 🙏 🙏 Design Squad ForEver Your Gorgeous Sexy Self Nice Ass Cheeks Bones Super Cute Outfit Have a great night as well Enjoy the rest of your Good Week Happy Fabulous Weekend Ahead Stay Bless N Be safe Always

[@idesign8]

Thank You so much! 😊

[@ebonymahogany4682]

As a business owner, i understand putting in work not to see your hard work pay off. However, now that you’ve gone through the process of setting up the first applicant, you have a blueprint! All you have to do is change name. You seem like a great boss and you dodged a bullet.

[@ebonymahogany4682]

Also, don’t let this person stop you from moving forward. Go to the next applicant and if they also meet your expectations, bless them with an opportunity.

[@cicilewis2043]

can't believe that lady did u like that..wow!

[@idesign8]

Me either Chileeee lol

[@DM-ov1nx]

That was God's way of protecting you. People come in sheep clothing.......and really be wolves. You will get who is meant for you. Pray about it!

[@idesign8]

Absolutely!! I truly believe that and I'm not mad at it lol but I wish I wouldn't have wasted my time - but it's life lol. Thanks for watching ❤️

[@estherkasozi4202]

That girl was not serious with the job that was terrible to not even say anything like wt actually heck I feel for you I wonder how old she was cos that sounds very childish behaviour

[@idesign8]

lol was def. not serious haha playing with me like that. She was def. younger lol.
