[quote=Anonymous]I am an adult who is very close friends with a person who happens to have an intellectual disabitly. She may as well be like my slightly younger sister and my whole family loves her. Her parents often look to my family for some respite care. A weekend, day etc so they can have time for themselves. We are happy to help (although part of me dislikes having to be put in the position to "babysit" a friend) but sometimes I taken advantage of. I know they really crave this rare alone time but they push the boundaries and they know I have an infant. Any parents with special needs children of any age that can give me some advice on the dos and don'ts of respite care? Should I just allow them to have whatever time they want or is it ok to say if something isn't the best (even if it isn't the worst) for my family. [/quote]
