[quote=Anonymous]OP, I feel you. I tried working FT and just couldn't swing it. It's not the running around to therapies and doctors appointments, though that's hard, it's just that my kids need me too much. My sped kid needs me bc no one else (or no one I can afford!) can handle it. My non-sped kid needs me because of all the stress caused by the sped kid. Just too unhappy, too much juggling. Since they're in school, I can work PT, but it keeps me calm enough to deal with the stress when I'm with them. It's really hard financially, but I'm hoping we can catch up -- eventually. One thing I would remind you is that therapy is hard to do in the evenings -- they really need to be not worn out to take the most advantage of such things. I used to pick mine up from school, run to therapy, and back to school (and that's added to leaving work, returning to work). Plus there will be IEP meetings, checking in to make sure they are following the IEP, etc. etc. [/quote]
