[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 368571, member: 3444"] Haven't read any of the other posts, but wanted to let you know that I completely understand your frustration. My mother is the ONLY person out of our entire extended family who has ever been willing to stay with our kids for an extended period -- I feel very blessed to have that ONE person who can do it. My difficult child dad has never watched my kids, not even for an afternoon. My in-laws tried to help with the kids two years ago when my husband had surgery, but my mother in law ended up losing it with my difficult child 2 and slapped him, hard enough to make him hysterical and want them to leave and not come back (can't say I blame him). Only ONE of my three sister in law's have ever offered to watch my kids overnight. And it happened once, and only once. My difficult child brother, never. So I understand how hard it is to find people, even in your own family, who are patient enough and willing to help. That said, would it work out better if your mom came to watch the kids without your dad? It works better for us. Just a thought. I'm sorry to hear about the possible skin cancer diagnosis. I hope it's a less invasive variety that can be dealt with surgically... My brother had melanoma on his forearm in his early 20's. That was 20 years ago, and the surgery got it all so he only goes in for regular dermo checkups now. I will keep you in my prayers. [/QUOTE]
