[blparent] working parents

[Veronica Smith]

No, she's not by herself, but with dad and not me.  It's hard for me, she's
been entirely with me for the last 12.5 years.  I guess I am asking about
emotions of leaving your child.  Granted mine is older, but leaving her, I
am.
The evenings aren't as much fun as the day.  By the time I get home, I am
too tired to go to the mall and all pools are closed for the day.  The
public pools here are open from 12 to 5 and they have swimming lessons in
the evenings.
Like I said, weekends are open, but then everyone who couldn't go during the
week is there.  Ok, I'm just whining. V

I'm not sure what you're asking.
Is Gab by herself during the day and you're looking for ways to keep her out
of trouble?
Or are you asking about stuff to do in the evenings when you get home?
And congrads on the job.

I believe I shared with all of you that I started working, at least for the
summer, at the U. S. Fish and Wildlife.  I am doing an OJT, on the job
training.  If my screen reader software plays nicely with their software and
if I am able to learn all that they do, they willhire me full time and
permanent.
So I have been getting up early, making breakfast and taking the bus.
Now for the question on blind parenting.  How do you blind parents manage
summer activities while you work during the days and your children are at
home.
I am assuming I will just have to do more on weekends, but the thought of
going to the pool with all those others who work during the week doesn't
sound appealing.
Instead of me second guessing myself, tell me what kind of activities you
all do.
All is appreciated! V
