[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have two kids who are 5 years apart, too.  I don't think being "terrified" is normal. When my dh was away, it was like a little vacation for us. We relaxed our regular routine, and it was fun.  Sure, it's not easy to be the only parent, but it was not unreasonable.   Can you explain more about what is terrifying to you?[/quote]

What terrifies me is a medical emergency with my 2 year old. He is physically disabled, non-verbal and G-tube. As of last month, he had his first seizure. My DH went in an ambulance to the hospital with him. I picked up my 7 yo from school and stayed with them at home. If my DH wasn’t here, what would I do? Would I honestly take a 7 yo to an ambulance and make them witness their sibling having a seizure, being in the ER, being admitted etc? I mean - there is 0 family locally. My DH doesn’t get it. And I frankly believe that $220 k is not worth to traumatize my perfectly healthy and happy 7 yo. [/quote]

I definitely have had all 3 of my kids in the ER with me. It's not traumatic to them. I'm pretty anti screen time, but that's prime Ipad time. My biggest worry with them being there is that they'll catch norovirus or the flu while we're there for another issue.

220k is a lot of money. You do realize it's double what most people make? You seem really out of touch. [/quote]
