[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 596376, member: 14557"] Now, I knew you would notice why we think this could be a great program :winking: We were supper lucky to have mother in law and father in law close and extremely helpful and also husband's siblings etc. If not, we would had been screwed. Around here there has been lots of relocation going on in recent decades and many families live far from their relatives and don't have that kind of support networks. That is why I see this kind of respite program for those less needy to be a great idea, because it can help those families a lot and prevent them ending up very needy. It certainly is a program that I hope would succeed and that some people would do respite parenting through them. And concept of how 'someone' or 'some people' should do this or that, and not to be that someone, if possible, kind of goes rather badly against our family values, which is a big reason we are considering this. Other one is, that it could be fun, if the family we would respite would be a fit. We like kids, we like doing stuff with kids, we have room and time. But yes, there are concerns and that is something we have to think hard. [/QUOTE]
