Being responsible

[CossieRobbo]

My daughter 25 has depression. She always looks tired like she's taking sleeping tablets and i do ask if she's has taken anything which she replies "no". She has lost weight and very drawn. She doesn't work anymore and will stay in the couch to watch tv. My question is that when she lets the dog in for company there was mud prints on the furniture and cushions and we end up cleaning it. Is this irresponsible with no repect for other people's property or part of the depression. The dog is a large Labrador so can be messy. Just need to know so we can address this correctly

Hi CossieRobbo, welcome to the forums.

I'd really recommend having a look at our Have The Conversation page for tips on talking with your daughter. It sounds like you may need to have a talk with her that's a bit broader than what medication she might be taking, and looking after the dog. Please have a read through the page and let us know if you have any further questions.
