As a healthcare worker who has seen bad things happen: sit down with anyone important to his care and hash this out now. It's hard, and it sucks, but figuring out who would care for your child now, if something catastrophic would happen to his main caregivers, is something you need to do.

You do not want him to end up in the hands of the state and/or social workers, plan something out with your family who actually cares for him personally ASAP.

I'm sorry you have to do it, but it's one of the ultimate loving things you can do for your son.

Blessed be.

Just out of curiosity, what sort of training does the child undergo? As far as caring for the dog, responsible behavior, that sort of thing.

Or does the responsibility fall to the parent or other caregiver?

Hi! Awesome AMA - I've always been curious about how much time pre-agricultural people spent "working." Like, how much time on a day the average person spent doing something directly related to survival.

With such an advanced cultural/religious life, I'd guess that people (or part of the population) had a substantial amount of non-survival work time. What does your work tell us?

Thank you!
