[QUOTE="therese005us, post: 277470, member: 7416"] Yes, I hope you didn't think I was being insensitive. I guess I don't really have a right to be here since my biggest challenge is 19 now and you all seem to have much younger children. I am so blessed to have come through some difficult situations though, at one stage I had four three children under 3, 2 with challenging behaviours, 1 with very serious health issues (the baby) AND my now 19 yo who was 7 at the time.... recollecting now, it was tough and you all are going through different stages of it now.... I want you to know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, there truly is. Oh, I should be sleeping... you're all coming into summer, and we're approaching winter next week..... (well the official beginning of it) What about giving the children four ingredients and getting them to make their own lunch? As a child we used to have tea for lunch and lunch for tea; so some days we got to have strawberries and cream for lunch and soup for tea... it was novel to us! Waht about finding some needy neighbours and hiring them out to do chores ? Some of the children might find this challenging, but Mrs Smith might need her whole garden mowed and weeded and it could be done as a family... I don't want to go to bed, it's too scary. So, I'll do a little more cooking... Sorry to get off track [/QUOTE]
