So the doctor tells you to take it easy but you are swarming with children to take care of. How do you handle this problem? I told the doctor to put me into the hospital if he wants me off my feet and he asked why and I told him that you can not possibly stay off your feet with kids running around the house! Hugs

About seven years ago,I was having a medical condition,which the doctor wanted me bed ridden.I told him that I couldn't I had a child to care for and he said that I needed to get a child care helper.My husband's paycheck was barely paying for everything and we could not afford to pay for a helper.He just laughed.If he had put me in the hospital then my husband would have had to hire someone to help. If we had done that then a few utilities would not have got paid.I needed to be bed ridden for about four months.

That is what I was thinking that we would have to hire someone to be there while I was layed up and I am the one that my daughter is expecting to take care of our grandson while she is in Iraq. So I ended up telling my doctor that when she comes home I will do what he asked. hugs
