His dad can't take care of him?
No, he said he has a meeting he can't cancel. The problem is, I have no family here. The closest is 5 hours away. My neighbours (who are awesome) are out because the wife went back to work. All of my friends who know monkeyboy work during the day. I need to hire a respite worker who can work with him 1 day a week so I know that if I need to make appts, to make them on that day. But again, takes money and I don't have access to the funds. So, would make sense to go to the lawyer about that but that's why I need a sitter for Friday in the first place.
I'm in the same boat here, child-care wise.
If there were something that really engages him, I wonder if you could bring him along or get someone to watch him that he doesn't know as well.
I have brought my daughter along to some appointments with her portable DVD player and headphones with a DVD she has been begging to see, but you really wouldn't want him to hear any of this stuff.
