Guest guest Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Hi friends, I know I don't post real often, but I read faithfully here. I am the one with painful crippling feet due to a congenital clubfeet condition. I am a writer which is a wonderful profession to be called to what with my limited mobility!! The Lord knew from the beginning of my life that writing would be a gift for me to enjoy and use throughout my life. My question and advice-request topic is this - I babysit now for our only grandson - a now six month old boy who is the light of my days. His mom brings him daily and I have him from 7:30 til 6:00 pm. Yes, I do get a little pay from it although that is not my goal. I wish I didn't have to take their pay. The question is this - when will I know this is too much on me? In many ways it is a blessing because it takes me " out of self " and into others, I have someone who " needs " me, and he brings such fun and laughter to my days. However, my feet are getting worse and the carrying him, feeding him, diapering him are all taking their toll on me. I can take more pain meds to get through these hectic days but that seems stupid. It also seems sad and horrible to think of going through days without my little guy here to love on. Any help, thoughts, advice or insights are totally welcomed.
