[QUOTE="jbrain, post: 282350, member: 3450"] Hi Star, she did take him to the pediatrician and he's the one who said Liam's seeking attention, let him cry it out. One good thing about E--she calls the dr. when she has a question, even if it seems like a dumb one. She also follows the dr.'s advice on stuff like sunglasses for Liam and hat, etc. Funny how she never followed any authority figure's instructions til now :)! By the time I hear from her again he may have moved on to some other thing but at least I am now armed with lots of experienced moms' advice! Hey, she is finally making a connection with "consequences" too. She said that she is tired of stripping for a living but can't go to college because even with the aid the state would give her she doesn't have enough money with having Liam to take care of. Long ago I told her that life has its own consequences--it isn't just parents providing them. I told her sometimes the consequences take years to show up too. Well, here is a consequence of having lived her life the way she has--she is stuck with a job she doesn't like, not enough money, and a baby to raise alone since biodad is a loser and she knew he was a loser when she got pregnant. He already had 2 children he didn't see or provide money for. Oh well, if she wants to change things she will have to take a longer view--come up with a plan to be in a different space in a few years and not just live for the moment. Thanks! Jane [/QUOTE]
