You're right Laura, having that special time with our children is so important and even if inconvenient with our plans, having the one-on-one when taking them somewhere really is quite bonding. One of my daughters often refers back to different times we had alone in the car when I was taking her somewhere during her teen years. Thanks for your comments.

It took four hours out of my day. I was a work at home mom at the time, with five kids younger than she, all of whom were still being homeschooled. It was necessary, and it was worth it. No, I did not have time to do that. But I made time, because my daughter needed to earn the money to buy a car and to get insurance. The closest jobs to our remote town were an hour away. We had good time in that car, driving the long miles between. Sometimes another kid or two would come along (the rest stayed with their dad, or with their other older brothers). It was good time. I had done the same for her older brother. I'd do it again if necessary. Admittedly, I did have some reorganization to do of our home when she finally was able to commute on her own, but that came together as it needed to also. Conversely, when I was pregnant and on bedrest with our eighth child, I did not go ANYWHERE, nor did I drive anyone anywhere. Her needs took precedent over the other kids - and they loved her intensely partly because they sacrificed for her.

We seem to think we are super woman and do not need to listen, we are very stubborn. Sometimes so strong willed we forget, what the Lord wants and wishes . We must respect our Doctors, who has our best interests at heart. I will say a prayer for you both. Maybe if someone was to come an help with cleaning or child care, meals prepared ahead.

Hi Kathy,
Thanks for the timely reminder that while my children are now adults and live far away in Queensland, I can still, and should, interupt their lives with encouragement and guidance to bring them closer to the Lord and to let them know that I am there for them.
