I know that I am late to this, but there are agencies that support families with respite for weekends. It allows the parents a break from the issues at home and get time to themselves. My wife and I are a respite family through the foster care system, but my wife has clients that that get the same service through another agency for their biological children. Don't forget to look into government agencies for assistance...that is what we pay our taxes for. Qualify and use I say, and that goes for 1st year FO and food stamps too!
