Do they have time to do; laundry, vacuum, dusting, cooking, wash dishes, run errands? Or do you do some or all of these things. What if you need help at 3am?

After 2 1/2 years of marriage, I am sadly getting a divorce. The 'quad life' was more than she could handle, and I understand. It's very very sad. Of those who are c5/6.......do you have a 24 hr live in? If not can you share how you mange your caregivers and who helps at night. Thanks so much, pj
