- Finding time for hubby & other kids

[Guest guest]

,

There are definitely some folks from Australia here on the listserv; I'm sure

they'll pop in when they see your message. Regarding finding time: it is

difficult, particularly in the early times. I found I had to find the trust to

let others help me so I could spend time with my other two boys and my husband.

Is there any type of respite care available where you are? Maybe you could look

into it and plan something for you, your hubby & your boys while your daughter

is with the respite care worker/nurse/trusted family member or friend/etc. It

is definitely an effort, but hopefully things will improve and you will have

more time together as Ashleigh gets older.

Hi all,

I am new to this group.

I have a daughter who is one year of age and was diagnosed with CHARGE at

birth.

She is a beautiful treasure that I love very much. She takes up24/7 of my

time, doesnt leave me much time for myself and the rest of my family. I

have a two older boys 15 and 12 yrs old, ooo and yes and my husband. Is

there anyone that can advise me on how they made time for there other

famiy members

Also, I was just wondering if there was anyone else that come to this

group that is from Australia??
