[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 439786, member: 1233"] in my opinion this was a very rational worry. First Mandy's health and the baby's. But also Cory's. He has some pretty significant health problems and a real stubborn streak that if he decided to do something he would work into heat stroke before he would stop and not get it done. So by doing this you ahve provided not a little bit of comfort but a real necessity. I have seen a lot of people get really sick and/or die in the heat here in OK. It gets BAD. I got heat exhaustion in under an hour one year - back when I was still a healthy and very young woman (22). It took me over a year before I could do almost anything out in the heat. If it were me they would also have at least a few cases of water bottles. One in each vehicle that they have and at least one at the house in case of a water problem. In the heat here in OK almost every car has a case of water in the back or trunk. Or a big 5 gal jug. We don't even want to drive into town (5 miles maybe) with-o it because it is so easy to get very sick in the heat. I won't pick up a hitch-hiker but I have stopped and given people a couple of bottles of water as they walk around town. NEVER has anyone not appreciated it - often it is students who don't realize how easy it is to get overheated or it is the ones who cannot afford a car. I didn't used to but I saw what looked like a very healthy man just topple over a couple of years ago. Scared the stuffing out of me. A cop came by because I just stopped on the side of the road - a major one with nowhere to pull into a parking lot or onto the shoulder. He insisted on calling for an ambulance - the guy wouldn't let me. So this was NOT enabling. It was protecting yourself from the re-invasion because you KNOW Mandy wouldn't want to keep paying rent if she was sleeping and eating and everything else at your hosue (quick - turn their old room into a craft room and little girl room for visiting granddaus!). It was also protecting the health of your son and his SO and their child. [/QUOTE]
