Mom? What's a difficult child?
/NW Indiana To stay for 3 weeks with my IN-LAWS!!! I never claimed I was sane.
My in-laws are trying to sell their home and K is turning 8, and husband's business is located in Gary so we are doing the all in one trip... This may be the last time the girls can see the Grandparents in the home they remember them in. After this they will be full time in AZ.
I have had lengthy e-mails with mother in law about K, her medications and her health... what we are trying to accomplish etc.
She takes the words of our therapist and psychiatrist more seriously than ours... so I have given her basically everything that they want us to do and why. LOL
I would be more lenient about things if K wasn't on Lithium and if K's psychiatrist was not concerned about weight. So we are sticking with our eating plan. And exercise plan.
Also our therapist is pretty much serious about keeping K stable regardless of where we are and who we are with.
Tough cookies if it is the Grandparents... they need to help K and N... I love our therapist! (She was a consultant for Sesame Street!)
Anyway mother in law claims she is going to try and that she is going to not undermine everything we do and make us look like we are the evil parents....
We shall see!
I am bringing my laptop!
I will update ASAP!
mother in law of course is trying to make plans as soon as we arrive! I just bit my tongue and said we will see. She wants to go down to the beach that night and watch fireworks! The girls are asleep before dark and N is terrified of fireworks.... sure!
