Today’s mom has a wish to go away with her husband for a weekend — and leave her T1D son behind. The grandparents have offered to take him for that weekend — they are more than happy to help — but mom is nervous, worried not just about her son’s numbers, but also about how asking for what she needs might impact her relationship with her in-laws.
As we explore, we uncover that this mom has what I call “a beautiful fantasy,” that she gets to go away and have an actual vacation from diabetes, where she doesn’t have to think about it for the weekend. Together, we think about what the steps might be to work up to that, so she can make that dream possible.
Listen to hear about:
*How to help grandparents build the diabetes care muscle, step by step
*How parents should quiet their fears about overwhelming caregivers
*Having different expectations about management when our kids are in other people’s care, especially when it’s for short periods of time.
*How to help support your child if they have some diabetes anxiety about being left in someone else’s care
