Re: Re: Recurrence after DBB

[Guest guest]

I don't think a night off once in a while matters from

a medical point of view either but I wouldn't do it

with my son, I just don't want him to think it might

be negotiable...

So far he's not had a single night off even when he's

sick, poor thing... Actually, I'm not even sure he

would let me. One morning he called me quite early

because one of his feet had come out the shoe (his dad

didn't do them up properly I think) and since it was

nearly time to get up anyway I took the other one off

too. But he wasn't happy with that and made me put

both back on again. Then he was happy with it, lied

down again, only to get up 10 minutes later and for me

to take them off again.
