[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 614780, member: 1514"] What is it about 15 months? Thats when we noticed a huge difference in our two youngest boys...lol. I had really good babies and even when they were older we never had bedtime issues with them. I have worked extremely hard on understanding that my difficult child isnt me even if we are much alike. Cedar, when I said we would take everyone back in I dont mean I would like it. And it would have to be a major issue involved. Because of Cory's physical issues we have always known he might end up very disabled and not being able to live alone. At the present time I dont believe we would take him back in unless he was completely unable to leave the house on his own. With Jamie I dont believe it would ever come to that but there are times I worry about his job like when the government shut down. If he lost his job he would most likely lose his house but maybe not because I think he would dig ditches or flip burgers before coming down here. However if all else failed we would take him and his family in. Right now the only one I am happy they are here as much as she is is Monkey. I would take her in a New York Minute. I cant say the same thing about the Mouse. She is simply too hard for me to handle. Of course a 7 year old is easier than a 2 year old but Monkey was a much easier toddler than her sister. We all know how I feel about having siblings...ie Buck come live here. No way again, I will force Tony to leave and find somewhere else to live with him. I have also said that about the Mouse if something were to happen and she ended up in foster care. I am not willing to be the place she comes. This is a big issue right now because Tony says he will quit his job to take care of her. He wasnt willing to quit his job to take care of me. Jamie has already said he is willing to take Mouse in and I think that is where she goes. I will hate to say it but I will sabotage any way that social services would place Mouse with us by telling every bad thing about us. [/QUOTE]
