[quote=Anonymous]I think you’re doing enough. As the sibling of a special needs child, I didn’t get as much time as he did, but my parents also didn’t bend backwards to make things fair, and the lesson that life isn’t fair was honestly more helpful to me than them scrambling to make our time even. I wasn’t ignored or anything, but it was just an understanding. My brother had so many things that were harder on him physically and mentally. What you listed above with the 20 min a day/ 1/2 outings a month really is a lot. Be an active listener when you are all there, include them in cooking/errands so you have time to talk, but it doesn’t always have to be overt/special. Unconditional love and also being a normal parent (not one trying to overcompensate) is important too. [/quote]
