[QUOTE="WhereIsTheLight, post: 37779, member: 3673"] Thank you, Margie. May I have another? :smile: Yep, sometimes, even we need tough love, and I appreciate your response a great deal. Thank you again. easy child had a scheduled appointment with the dentist to pull an impacted wisdom tooth. Her appointment had been made several weeks prior. difficult child had a follow up appointment with the oral surgeon following surgery to repair her broken jaw the week before. It was up to the doctor when he needed to see difficult child. Before the accident, it was planned that easy child would get to the dentist on her own, as it is only one mile away and the dentist felt it was an easy extraction and I wouldn't be needed and this was a relief to me, because [I]all[/I] my time off work is saved to deal with my kids (crisis or non-crisis) or with my own doctor and dentist appointments. So, if I can save some of my vacation time, I do. easy child's appointment was at 11:30, difficult child's was at 9:30. Neither of my kids drive (easy child was asked to leave driver's training - after they cashed my check - because "for the safety of herself and the public at large, we cannot allow to her continue" :smile: (it's a confidence issue for her, poor thing). difficult child was given the opportunity to learn to drive contingent on minimum grade requirements and blew it. I needed to limit my risk and liability and insurance costs, so I haven't pushed it with either of them. Although easy child knows that she needs to pay her own way for further attempts at driver's ed because I feel that if she has a financial stake in it, she'll have more to lose and overcome her obstacles). Even if difficult child could drive, I would have taken her to the first follow up anyway, just to note progress, change in treatment, etc. So, feeling just a bit lucky that both appointments fell on the same day, I ended up taking the day off anyway and my work has been completely supportive of me - even after taking 3 days off for the accident itself. It turns out that the weather was horrid, rainy and windy and cold and I really had plenty of time to get them to both appointments. Or so I thought until difficult child had a meltdown in the car. ****************************************************** Oceans, I will keep that in mind.
