[QUOTE="DDD, post: 368633, member: 35"] I understand the skin cancer concern having recently faced that issue. It sound encouraging that they are waiting seven weeks.....chances are that they would not do so if they felt it was likely to be invasive. Sending hugs. Regarding the babysitting issue I have lived through that with my first difficult child and I still remember how frustrating it was for all of us. My suggestion is to start looking now for a babysitter who is fun, energetic and even tempered. I found a late teen who was a perfect match for my difficult child. That babysitter (who actually became [B]friends[/B] with my difficult child) would sit at my home for short bonding periods and later would go with difficult child when she spent the night so relatives would not be overwhelmed. In these economic times it should be possible to find a suitable young person eager to make a few bucks. Fingers crossed. by the way after raising a difficult child (now in her forties), a easy child/difficult child who was not a problem until the teens and a difficult child with Aspergers for over seven years AND :winking: being considered "a saint" by many...yesterday my difficult child daughter brought her very very hyper difficult child to my house unexpectedly and I literally was counting the minutes until the two of them left!!!!!!!! That does not make me a bad grandparent. It just shows that sometimes you just do not have what it takes to cope with difficult child behaviors...especiallly when you are older. Good luck.
