[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 605345, member: 1514"] Well, I am so not a homemaker and June Cleaver and Betty Crocker would croak if they ever met me...lol. Part of my lack of homemaking skills comes a lot from my mom. She was nuts about keeping house and gave me very few chores because I obviously couldnt meet her standards. My entire life as far as I can remember was to clean my bathroom and empty the dishwasher! I actually thought there was a clean clothes fairy because I tossed my dirty clothes on the floor in my closet and miraculously they would appear again clean, washed and folded. You can imagine my shock when I left home and the same thing didnt happen...lol. I also had 3 different but still somewhat difficult and messy boys to raise. They left a trail behind them and couldnt give a hoot. Its funny now but my middle son is the most successful of all his close friends. Well I guess if success is doing something you love and get paid to do it. I was doing some research today to write up a little note for difficult child's doctor appointment on Tuesday because he simply cannot remember all that happened when he was dxd and had surgery at age 4. Reading up on it I found out that I was right to feel it was my fault because this physical deformity is caused when the child is still an embryo and the spine and shoulders start to form. That is the time period I was so sick and having the xrays. Im still glad we kept him though sometimes I wonder if it was a completely fair decision for him. But things are done and we have to live with it. I did learn though that almost all of his physical issues can be tied to this condition. It explains his almost non-existent neck movement and that he has scoliosis. I am betting he has fused disks in his cervical area like I read. I really hope they can do something for him because its so hard seeing him looking this way. [/QUOTE]
