If i didnt feel right i would never volumteer to watch someonea kids or my stepkids but to act like epilepsy means u cant babysit seems kind of harsh at least for me bc i can feel it coming. And i also got a "well the sight of it migjt traumatize the kids"
As long as you know then who cares what they think. Don't they realise it's the kids safety. If they are aware and they want you to watch kids then they are the ones with the problem and it sounds like they just want to palm them off
Thats good hes with you. In my situation whether absent seizure or grand mal i wake up feeling off and then i know to stay home safe in a chair or bed so i would never watxh kids on a day i felt like that. Its juat hard to get people to understand the concept that i KNOW when I'll be ok
When diagnosed i did look after kids not much though and it was me who made that decision. Now I have no problems I feel they are safe even though it might happen. I have had absent seizures while looking after them. My husband is always with me
