I am thinking about surprising difficult children with a dog.

[QUOTE="witzend, post: 530760, member: 99"] Absolutely. Bubba's needing me was actually the last straw when it came to my stopping work. I could find special day care for M, therapists and specialists and IEP's. I brought Bubba into our world and I was the one that made sure that he was safe and had a home. husband barely pitched in when hounded into it. M was just scarey when he didn't want to do it. If we had brought him to the pound he would likely have been put down as too excitable. He didn't deserve that. I think, too, that the element of surprise would be lost on your difficult child's. It's a big responsibility to care for a dog, and with two kids they're bound to blame each other for things that do or don't get done. You wouldn't be happy if someone surprised you with such a big responsibility. It would probably be better if you included them in the decision and valued their opinions and feelings about it.
