[quote=Anonymous]I don't think I am unusual, but I work full time with two special needs children.  During the pre-elementary school years, I had every other Friday off so I could take them to therapy.  We used half of the sessions to work with my kids and half to teach me.  Then I carried out the programs.  Also, they were in an excellent pre-school - teacher completely implemented the home and school programs.  Once they all hit school aged, I went back to the regular 5 day a week schedule, except that I take about two days off per year to deal with school appointments - fortunately, I am able to schedule most before work.  I have been able to do any tutoring and other services after work hours or by going in early and leaving early.

Honestly, I doubt my kids would be better off if I stayed home.  They have progressed well over the years, in part because I realize that I have limited time to work with them (both daily but also in terms of the years until they become adults), so I have to always keep focused and goal oriented when it comes to helping them develop skills and becoming independent.  I never felt the pull or anxiety that you're feeling, OP.    [/quote]
