[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 568743, member: 84"] Unfortunately, M is still present and accounted for. That is a subject that for now is avoided. Biomom is worse at parenting than Katie, believe it or not. So I don't think that is it. I have no clue what brought about this change. Could be a lot of things. But it does appear she has done some growing up and has taken on the parenting role. Which is huge for her. Kids were good this evening too. Normal kid stuff, nothing more. We grown ups spent hours talking while waiting for bread to bake and the lasagna to be done. Katie was still very interactive and I believe I found out more about her this evening than I've managed over years. Oh, stuff I knew but still that she opened up about it was nice to see. Her cooking skills were the big elephant in the room and we talked about that........along with the why they are so poor (biomom can't cook either & all those yrs in a motel sure didn't help). But we gave her some simple, cheap, filling and nutritious suppers to make off the top of our heads and told her we'd be glad to show her more. Not an issue as both her sisters are still learning as well. You could see the relief on Katies face when easy child confessed she stinks at fried chicken and gravy. lol This is stuff she missed out on last time because she would not open her mouth and talk. I think to some degree though just having a stable living environment that is a decent home, knowing where your next meal is coming from, knowing you won't have to worry if you'll be on a street corner next week, being able to pay for the things you need/want has done a ton of it. They're feeling more secure than probably any of them can ever remember. Katie brought salad and salad dressing for tonight's dinner. She's excited to be buying her niece and nephews and brother and sisters gifts for the first time ever. She interacted and seemed to enjoy easy child and Nichole's kids as well. I do know that Kayla let it slip to Nichole a while back that her mom was busy certain nights of the week. Maybe she did do counseling.......maybe she had parenting classes. Who knows? But this change I like to see. I plan to take it as it comes and just enjoy it. [/QUOTE]
