[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm applying and looking.  Do you have a SN kid?  I'm trying to do what's right for my kid, and hold it get her.  Your response is glib - hope I can say it without inviting a fight.[/quote]

Yes, I do.  Child has been in therapies for 5 years and its been a very expensive and costly thing.  You do what you need to do but if you are not managing being home well, it may be best for you to work part-time given the situation.  It sounds like child is going through figure out the world and the normal two stage.  Some people love the stage, some don't.  We did therapies 5 days a week, plus a specialize preschool and activities.  Depending on the child for us it got better around age 6, but still some minor delays.  You are at the worst of it and the depression is a huge barrier.  It is exhausting being a driver to therapies, preschool, activities while everyone else is going to playdates and activities that are fun.  I liked being home and my husband has slowly increased his income so my going back became a choice (after we got school aged).  If you are not happy, your child will not be happy and there is a balance of your needs vs. your child's.  Sometimes doing what is best for you is what is best for your child.  [/quote]
