Is it possible that I get always affected by my husband’s reactions! I decided that I need to reduce my hours at work. We have a 2 years old with cp and now that she is older she can have access to more activities and therapies to help her develop skills. The window of time to do this is between 0 and 4 years of age, when the brain is most plastic. Then it’s just a metter of training the skills acquired.

At the moment I am working full time, well payed but a very demanding job. My stress level is through the he roof. I don’t manage to do any of these activities with my daughter, only 1 hour of physio on Thursdays. He got all surprised and worried as this will impact our financial situation….however, he chooses to work for himself, even thought he could earn almost double as an employee…there has been periods where he went on for months not working!

I work full time, do all the day to day house stuff, take care of our daughter, go to doctors appointments, take time off if she is sick, etc I’m drained and nor I or our daughter benefit of the extra money as they all go into paying silly stuff. We don’t have any help whatsoever from our families who live far away. If I don’t start to take this situation in my hands and help my daughter, I will regret it greatly in future, I know it for a fact. It bugs me though that he doesn’t appreciate the importance of this.
