[quote=Anonymous]I have always done it all as a SAHM. We have 3 kids (2 now in college 1 in HS). I scheduled all appointments, attended them, sought insurance coverage and reimbursement for them, handled all prescriptions (including tracking down stimulant meds), etc. This applied to everything: pediatrician, OT, speech, psychotherapy, ENT, neurologist, dentist, orthodontist, eye doctor, etc. I also handled all non-medical like homework, tutors, IEP/504, teacher conferences and school events. If I had it to do over again, I would never let it reach the point where 100% was on me. But at first it made sense when I was home and then more and more appointments creeped in. On the positive side, my kids benefited from the consistency but it’s just not fair to put all that mental labor on one parent. It prevented me from returning to work and created a very unhealthy dynamic. [/quote]
