[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow. Maybe it's just because I don't have much disposable income for a dance trip to Disney, but I just don't agree with the idea that this "opportunity" is so make or break, or that any good parent would find a way to make it work.

A child's epilepsy is a big deal. Seizures can do permanent damage. OP is an MD as s presumably knows how to manage it better than a layperson.

Sometimes kids have to hear no or at least not now. Life goes on. If your kids aren't spoiled they'll understand that they aren't entitled to everything money can buy. [/quote]

The issue is that there is apparently NO acceptable answer other than OP be with all the children all of the time. My guess is that instead of telling her parents about the allergy, precautions, and how to use an epipen, she started going through a detailed litany of how to completely peanut-proof the atmosphere, wipe down every surface, pretaste all of DD food, etc., and turned it into a trip they couldn't manage.

I am not assuming that her children don't need care. It is odd, however, that she has two children that need a type of care no one else, even their father, can manage. It is also telling that the suggestion that her parents come to her was met with "they stress me out." OP does not look for ways to make things work. She looks for reasons they can't work.

So DD is not going to Disney six months from now, because OP can't be in two places at once.[/quote]

Don't forget that she also can't ask her nanny to work extra hours to help out because being around her makes op "tense". Agree- the issue isn't Disney, but where does this stop.[/quote]

I think it's more than that. It's not that OP is tense but that the situation is tense when they are both at home at the same time. No way OP would micromanaging the nanny...[/quote]
