[QUOTE="aeroeng, post: 572820, member: 6557"] My husband's brother and wife worked as full time foster parents, and routinely had 7 difficult children in their home. They took my difficult child for part of the summer a couple years ago. They were strict, with very specific and highly guarded rules. difficult child called home once asking to come back (nope tickets not good until ...) but, for the most part behaved and actually enjoyed the structure. Not only did difficult child survive the summer, but he actually was better behaved when he came back home. I believe that brother in law and sister in law have skills that I just don't have. I never felt guilty I have my own set of skill, just different ones. I needed their support. We needed the break and it was good for difficult child. Was it good for brother in law and sister in law? They said they would take him back if needed. I would not hesitate to let them try, I would not feel guilty. I would just try to find out if/what anything works. [/QUOTE]
