Really good question. Our eldest has attention and memory problems. If I’d known I might pass this on to my kids would I still have had them? YES! Knowledge is power and we work at knowing as much as we can about both our children’s needs and trying to do our best by them.
I’m not good at all of it. But no parent is perfect and in the main I think we do pretty well between us. And that’s the key – my husband and I work as a team – he picks up the stuff I’m not so good at and vice-versa.
The down side is that it’s full-on and exhausting and if there’s not much support or help around from friends or family, there can be times when it’s overwhelming.
It’s worked out okay for us, but it’s right to think about it carefully first. It’s not like any other challenge I’ve ever had and it’s been far from easy.
