My DS1 is 5 and has global developmental delay. He needs a lot of help with everything, goes to a special school and we get middle rate DLA. He often wakes at night for a couple of hours at a time. I have another DS who is 2, who also wakes most nights.
My job has historically involved some shift work but I have managed to avoid doing nights for a few years now. My employers now want me to go back to doing some nights. Not only am I permanently exhausted anyway, I hate the thought of leaving the dc at night, especially as DH is a heavy sleeper.
BTW DS1 has a history of epilepsy which also has left me anxious in case anything happened in the night and I wasn't there...
Any ideas?
