[QUOTE="chocoholic, post: 12972, member: 2964"] Why won't they? I hate reading of such thoughtlessness.Years ago (when I was 16), I remember asking my parents if they'd like a weekend away on their own.I have an older sister who was married by then and had left home and a disabled brother still at home.I ordered champagne and flowers for my parents hotel room and they said when they saw it they sat on the bed and wept buckets. As a child you don't pick up on your parents not having time out for themselves. My parents told me when they came home it was the first break away they'd had on their own in 21 years!!! :roll: I still find it hard to believe that no relatives offered to give my parents a break at all in 21 years because they didn't like the idea of coping with my brother, who happens to be "different".
