[quote=Anonymous]My oldest has special needs, that in the realm of special needs are rather mild (they do not involve round the clock medical care), but which still mean that we always think of him for any life decision we make: moving, changing schools, etc. Indeed, he is the reason we have picked our MoCo home so carefully, to be inbounds for a particular elementary that caters well to kids with SN, and to later on be part of a middle and high school cluster that has the appropriate program for his needs. We don't want to move away, which means jobs have to be here. Since he has needed intensive coaching and accompaniment, particularly morning and night, which are hard to outsource, we have been present for him every day for years. Every trip we've done has been with his medical risks in mind as well, carrying his meds. Our lives have centered around his needs.

Is this a sacrifice? We don't view it in those terms. We love our children, and we parent each of them according to their needs.[/quote]
