I just highlighted PART of your post.....just to save everyone the trouble of

scrolling down...however, I could have written the whole thing, too! This

part above especially hit home, as I think our DH's really don't understand

the magnitude of the situation because they are just not with the kid

enough....

I also feel that female doctors are much more compassionate, as they too, are

moms and deal with the kids day in and day out....I'm not putting down the

Dads, this is just how I see it....even people I work with that DON'T have

special needs kids, bear the brunt of the child rearing simply because that's

what's expected of us....working moms or not...some things don't change.....

I feel as though I am " gyping " my other kids' happiness because my moods are

governed by how 's moods are daily, which I know isn't fair to them, but

unavoidable for me......
