One of my part-time jobs is looking after children. Until my seizures started I had been looking after a foster parents young babies (ages 4mth, 18mth, 20mth, and 2). Right now I've, due to the fact that theres legal obligations of the fosterparent, I've taken a slight break of being left alone with the babies...I can't wait to get back to my usual routine with them! I still look after kids that are older, because I and there parents feel they would be ok if anything happened with me, but I'm not sure what to do about the babies!?
How do seizures affect parenting for those of you that have small kids? or that look after kids? Should I feel okay taking them to the park and returning to our normal routines if I have no signs of seizures? I have only had 2 seizures 1 month apart and it has since been almost 2 months since the last one. I'm confident in looking after the babies again...but I would feel awful if anything happened.... :s
