Preservation of Family Dynamics and Emotional Support
 

Opting for the other parent as the EOR preserves the family dynamics and emotional support system critical to their son’s well-being. The EOR position, being nonpaid, carries inherent challenges in attracting qualified candidates, potentially leading to disruptions in care provision and potential strain on the family's emotional resilience. By maintaining the EOR responsibilities within the family unit, the husband and wife can provide a stable, nurturing environment where their son receives care from those who know him best. This setup promotes emotional bonding, reassurance, and a sense of security for their son, reinforcing the therapeutic impact of family involvement in the caregiving process. In contrast, relying on a non-live-in EOR may introduce an additional layer of unfamiliarity and potential disruption to the family's support system.
