so I have spent the whold dy feeling guilty . I sent dd to school when she "said" she was unwell.

felt really bad as I did it as it is respite tonight,
just rang and she is fine full of beans and as happy as can be
bloody kids

lol - I think we've all done something similar with our kids.

Does she generally like the respite care - is it all weekend or just tonight?

just tonight. pick her up a 5pm tomorrow. she is fine once she is there. but she knows ds's gf is coming tomorrow.
