[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My hsuband does more of the appointments. I organize our lives and he does “the stuff”. It works for us.

I am the primary earner. He owns his own biz. Our kids have major medical issues and have boatloads of appointments. Regular doctor, developmental pediatrician, neurologist, neurooncologist, etc. the appointment go in and on. Back when my
Kid did 14 minths of chemo, we usually traded off mid day. One went in with her, the other brought lunch and swapped out.[/quote]

Same poster. Let me add that when we first got our kids terrible diagnoses, we definitely both went to the big appointments. But we were deciding stuff like dates to have brain surgery and when to start chemo. Or how to handle the other kids profound intellectual disability. Once you are dealing with that, you definitely no longer care much about the strep throat appointment. In fact, our nanny did most of the “normal” appointments during the years where we had so many other things happening.[/quote]
