[quote=Anonymous]What about babysitter during the times middle son has therapy? The stress of getting three kids in the car, the back and forth etc must be really taxing and then if some of the therapies require parent involvement it frees her up to be more focused. I know that's a bit difficult with a 5 month old if breastfeeding, but even if she just took the baby but older kid was able to stay home. It's hard to find that type of part time care during the school year consistently, but if you post on nextdoor for your neighborhood you might find a high schooler or someone home from college that could be a mothers helper+ basically on the days that your middle son has therapy. When not in therapy on those days they are there to help with things, then stay with older son during therapies. The daycare 2 days a week you mentioned is a great idea, but I will warn you that as a mom to a 5 month old days in daycare also caused me my own type of stress so just wanted to prepare you that that kind of separation if she's not really comfortable with the care she may not go for. But you should 100% offer it! [/quote]
