Re: I decided not to send my daughters to relatives due to medicine issue

[Guest guest]

Kathy,

Well, I've been there too. I hope you feel okay about your decision.

Sometimes it's choosing the lesser of 2 evils, unfortunately. I often

wish I could do all the things that my friends do with their kids (come

and go, exotic vacations, etc)., and get resentful about it, but am okay

most of the time. I hope your husband is understanding.

Hugs to you,

Dina

Kathy,

I am so sorry that you decided not to go away. Maybe next time you can find

someone to stay with the kids overnight at your own home and go away during the

week, so that they are at school during the day. We have always had to hire our

help with my younger, profoundly disabled child. My husband's family who live

in town have NEVER offered to help.

Again - I hope that you reschedule soon.
