Caring for a child with Type - 1 is a lot of work, every day, 7 days a week. When my wife is out of town on business, it is so challenging to take 100% of the responsibility for that care - particularly when it must be handled along with monitoring homework, taking kids to practices and all the “regular” parental duties. Flying solo for a while reminds me how lucky I am to be sharing this responsibility with my wife, and how stressful it is for her when I have to be away for work. I have immense admiration and awe for single parents who have to shoulder the full responsibility for caring for their Type - 1 kids.
