I look after my wife because she's basically as much use as t1ts on a pig, she can't drive but won't walk to work and there are no buses so I have to drive her, I also often need to carry her home after a night out - that seems to make me a 'carer'.

Let's be honest if a woman giving up work to look after her own kid and a girl helping her mum get her wee brother ready for school are carers then I want to be considered one too.
