[QUOTE="buddy, post: 465623, member: 12886"] you guys are great. I am definately going to check into some of those things. I think I need a change anyway. Yes, I am an Speech Language Pathologist (SLP). My dilema here (and I actually was offered part time at my former school because they are so overwhelmed) is that both bosses and clients get fed up with the large amount of time I have to go to answer emergency calls or actually go to get him. In addition, in this school, nearly all of their IEP meetings are after school hours. Impossible for me to do that, and that school I would be (even part time) on about 30 IEP's. I hate conflict (I think that's why God gave me difficult child to work on that, smile) and I feel terrible when I put people out so it was very frustrating for me too. I have thought of tutoring though because I have a teaching license and could be more flexible with that. Each time I think, yeah, this will work, something like this happens... I had two doctor appointments this month for me...those were the only times I scheduled something. Of course I got called in the middle of the first one (sorry doctor, it's an emergency...I am sure he was thinking, "hey that's my line"). For the second one, that is when school wanted difficult child suspended. I managed to talk them at least into another day since it was all after the incident anyway, it didn't matter by that time. I am called 3-5 days a week sometimes multiple times. Even during my "respite" when he is with Integrated Listening Systems (ILS) workers I have to have the phone right next to me. It goes in phases, but today for example the Integrated Listening Systems (ILS) worker had to call 4 times in 3 hours. I am not complaining, honest, I am lucky to have the help. Just sharing the road blocks that make it a little more challenging to find a different job. So I love the options you guys listed. So great to hear. I volunteer a lot and love it. I just like to have something to do outside of the mommy gig. But I have faith...something will work. in Aug, I had a been hired to "daycare" for a little boy in our complex. just part of the day and they said I could bring him with me if I had to get difficult child. they know him well and difficult child loves the kid,its mutual. I was so happy because I started thinking, oh good I can buy difficult child christmas gifts, birthday gifts without as much struggle. Well, bio mom picked the kid up and didn't return him so....(bio mom's dad was caring for him because she is on drugs etc.) but maybe there is another kiddo out there where the family will take the time to love difficult child and it will be rare that they would be home together anyway.
