[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. We have a full time nanny but she only works 9-5:30, Monday-Friday while DH and I are working.

We have respite care for 11 hours per week but they only show up about half of the time.

I know it seems like it should be enough and we have more support than other people but I don’t know what to say. We just can’t handle him.[/quote]
Why isn't he in school?  That would cover a big chunk of the day during the school year and may help you stretch childcare hours later into the evening.[/quote]
Op Here. He is in Kindergarten. It’s a long story but the short version is that the nanny goes to school with him as like a private aide. In a public school. It’s complex and for a whole other thread. But we don’t really get the benefit of school in the sense that even when he’s in school he still requires continuous support (either from us because the school calls us repeatedly or from the nanny). [/quote]
OP in situations like you describe, schools will often try to move the child to a different program with a higher level of support.  The process can take months, or up to a year.  Is this currently under way?  [/quote]

agree. The fact that the school is allowing the nanny to shadow all day indicates it’s a really crappy school. OP needs to get a better placement and better meds. Divorce too if she wants but that’s not going to solve all the problems. [/quote]
How is it bad for him to have the nanny’s support?[/quote]It’s not bad to have the nanny’s support, but it’s the school admission that they cannot meet this child’s needs and I bet he’s not the first one they’ve let done.[/quote]*down*[/quote]
