[blparent] EXTERNAL:Re: blparent Digest, Vol 77, Issue 10

[Pickrell, Rebecca M (TASC)]

Thank you Jen. 
It wasn't clear to me if Sharon was writing from a personal perspective
or a school perspective, and I was hoping that it was a personal one
because using a guide dog is a very individual choice. I'd hope that
Sharon or anybody else in an official capacity would not use that
position to influence individual decisions. 
Thank you both for clairfying.

Hi again, list.

Just writing to clear something up. Rebecca, I'm one of Sharon
Howerton's students in her parenting classes she teaches at Hadley (at
least I try to be since I feel like I never get time to do
assignments). Anyway, I had asked her a while ago about how to handle
a guide dog and a new baby, which sure can be a challenge. I think all
Sharon meant to do was to let me know she was glad things went well
for me, not to say anything about anyone else. Dealing with a baby and
guide dog is OK for some people and may not be what other people
decide to do; that makes sense to me. I just wanted you to know more
about the history of my working with Sharon and to tell you that her
comment probably was just a response to my concern about how I could
make this work, not a judgment about anyone else's situation. Does
that sound right, Sharon?

Jen
