[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 361951, member: 1514"] Maybe you should just take that four month leave of absence if you can do a FMLA with where you work. It would give you time with the baby, time to let daughter in law have some alone time dealing with her pregnancy, time with Grandma A when she is up, and even some time with difficult child if he decides to play daddy some of the time. I know this isnt near as important but I remember how we felt when we first realized that Cory was born with orthopedic birth defects that were visible. At first I thought someone had dropped him and broken his shoulder or collarbone it hung there so oddly. I remember being just heartbroken and wondering how we would fix this. Would he ever be ok? What did I do? Oh I got told what I did quite fast! Xrays in the first trimester. So now I carry that guilt. I can imagine what your son and daughter in law are feeling. The entire series of what if's. They eat you up. I hope he is going to come to the right conclusion in time. This is a very horrible thing to watch your baby go through. I dont think fathers are as good at it as moms are for some reason. [/QUOTE]
