[quote=Anonymous]I really just hate holidays. My DS can’t handle the change in routine. We can’t go to anyone else’s house because of his behaviors. We can’t have people over because of his behavior. All the places I’d normally take him are closed. All our babysitters and respite providers are unavailable. My DH insists on still making a turkey and the big elaborate meal, but it means I’m stuck solo parenting while he cooks and trashes the kitchen and then needs to “relax” after all his “hard work.” I literally don’t care and would be fine with frozen pizza. Ds Requires one adult’s FULL ATTENTION at all times. I cannot use the bathroom. I cannot unload the dishwasher while he watches TV in the living room. My eyes and hands must be always free. It’s hell. I love him but I hate this life. I honestly kind of look forward to the end of my own life. Hopefully I only have another 20 years or so to survive. How’s your thanksgiving going?[/quote]
