Nervous Mom
My nine year old is going away with short notice to Boston for the rest of the week. I suppose that I'm ok with her going to visit her aunt and cousins, but I'm so not ok with the fact that she has to fly back home with just her eleven year old cousin. Luckily, her cousin has done this before and she's really protective of my daughter;plus I know that the airlines watch over children who fly without adults. But I'm still anxious about it. It doesn't help that this is my child who has asperger's syndrome either. You can't always predict how she'll react, but she wants to do this. She's gone without us before when she was seven, she went with her grandmother then. I just hate letting her do this. But if I didn't think that she could do it, I wouldn't let her. That still doesn't keep me from being a nervous wreck about sending her.
