Guest guest Posted August 9, 2002 Report Share Posted August 9, 2002 ine- When this lady says the children understand her limitations, I wonder how old are the children, what are her limitations, and what do the children understand. Barbara - who has 5 step-grandchildren I can understand your longing, "wanting a baby".One of NF2 ladies here in Oz, with severe difficulties from her NF2, anyway, she and her husband decided before they married to adopt their children.Talking with her recently she tells me she minds three children after school each day. She said she has been doing it for years and that the kiddies understand her limitations and she loves it. Perhaps , if you ever give up work, you could do something like that.Naturally her NF2 makes her very angry and I just hope if any of you visit again she gets the chance to meet up with you. She has so much spirit.ine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2002 Report Share Posted August 9, 2002 has to add her two cents: I have two beautiful daughters who are 9 and 5. They are really good kids. They know my limitations too. Sometimes that is a good thing but when they are in an ornery mood watch out! They know mommy can't run after them or chase them and my youngest used to love to hide from me. Plus, they already know to pester me the most when I am the tiredess. ine wrote: When this lady says the children understand her limitations, I wonder how old are the children, what are her limitations, and what do the children understand.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2002 Report Share Posted August 9, 2002 When you mention about children understanding limitations it brings to mind my grandson. He understands my limitations very well. He asks questions sometimes but he seems to understand and often tries to assist me. He never takes of from me and always comes to me when I call. He is excellent. He just turned three beginning of July. It is amazing how children respond. I could not hold him the first six months because they felt my spasms may cause problems as his neck was not strong enough to hold himself and after that I babysat him every second day through the week and we are like twins now. He gets to be a real terror with the others in the family but with me he seems to understand he is just great. Randy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
