[quote=Anonymous]I don’t have a village here either so DH and I have had a full-time nanny for our SN DD (now adult) for 15 years. It makes all the difference to have another reliable adult around as backup. DH and I do a lot of divide and conquer. My in-laws live nearby but have been very little help over the years but we accepted that the buck stopped with us and limited our family to two children. I also used aftercare for my NT son so I could have flexibility to take his sister to her appointments. I also have a gardener and housekeeper every other week. We live a pretty boring life by most people’s standards but we keep going![/quote]
