vetswife...I can so totally identify with you. My daughter is grown now and has her own twins, age 6. But when my daughter was small, she was fearful of water, though I took her to swimming lessons every summer. I think my own fear of water projected onto her, and I also have great anxiety problems. She is in her late 20's now, and I don't think she can swim to this day, but had I let her stay with someone who had a pool, I would hve been frantic! So I totally understand!
I am supposed to have the twins for a few days in early August. I am already planning how I can assure my daughter of their safety and also insure this while they are here!
