thanks everyone! (i posted here because honestly, i was like "maybe my family is normal and that is how everyone is") but to see all of you saying, "i would help" makes me see that it is not "normal" and that is not how people treat eachother. Don's family has always shocked me because they are so generous....his sister loves ivy and always wants her to come stay there etc. whereas my family doesn't show it at all and never offers for her come over or anything. if i ask is she can come over they roll their eyes and say it is so much trouble. (when i say "family" i actually mean my sister and niece -i also have a brother but he is out of the picture completely...not sure why, but he doesn't come around or call or anything). andrew is another story all together. i know he cares, but he is so caught up in his own life and troubles it is hard for hime to see past them.


liz, another thing is make sure you are asking for help and let people know what a hard time you are having.  i know it is hard to ask for help and you want to just hope that they will be there, but it is likely that people don't understand how hard it is for you right now. 

 


Thanks Crystal!  Yes, it is really hard to admit I need help.  Luckily, Don was able to line up some help for me on Saturday.  The girl at Ivy's school is going to come over on Saturday from 12 til 9.  I am so glad!!

Liz I am so sorry.  I wish I could help you out. I agree with Crystal to make sure you tell people you actually need their help, otherwise they will think you are managing somehow.  Crazy I know, but sometimes people just get caught up in their busy lives and need a reminder so take the time to ask. 

I hope your leg heals quickly and the pain isn't too bad.  I can't imagine having 3 flights of stairs to deal with either. :(

Oh man, I'm so sorry you have to deal with family who is like that.  I agree, tell them how you NEED help and if they dont help still then that just says alot.  I'm glad you have Don's family to help at least, and that girl is coming on saturday.  Hang in there mama you are such a strong woman, your mother would be so proud of who you are!! heart.gif
