So after much mulling and pondering, I've decided on a course of action. The next time I see my client, I'm going to suggest that if she has questions or concerns about her birth, she request a copy of her medical records from her caregiver. That way, the power is is her hands to determine how much information she does or doesn't want. This is the option that feels best to me, for these circumstances. Thanks so much to all of you for your input - its been invaluable.
In "other bits":
Now my parents are moving the weekend of the 12th, so the long weekend is free after all. But we've decided not paint because its just cosmetic, not money or energy saving. There are many other things we can do, which will save us in heating costs, and are a better use of limited finances, in our opinion. N's Mom doesn't seem happy that we've decided not to paint. She says: ...but you'll feel so much better about your house once its painted... I really had my heart set on getting that done...
But its our money and our time, so we're not putting either towards painting this Fall.
Yesterday N & I celebrated our first anniversary together. We both had to work as it was an ordinary Monday to the rest of the world, but we had a nice supper out in the evening. Sunday morning we decided not to go to church, and to just have a quiet day with only the two of us. I think N's parents are a little 'miffed' with us, as they believe in attending church every Sunday no matter what, and they were doing a presentation on their time in Africa this summer, this week. The next time they see us after we've 'skipped' a Sunday, they always want to know what we were doing and why we weren't at church. Meh. We're adults. We don't have to go to church just because they go to church. And we don't have to answer to them if we don't go.
Oh the joys....
I'm interviewing with a potential client on Friday. They are due late October so it would be a quick turn-around if they hire me. I'm also waiting to hear back from a potential client due early October. She needs permission from her caregiver to have an extra person in the room before she can hire me. That birth would have an even quicker turn around. Crossing my fingers that they BOTH work out!
