[QUOTE="Alttlgabby, post: 270214, member: 6786"] OH yes, I do praise her. She needs LOTS of it. God only knows that her Mom never did anything that was required to be a parent, so she definately has 100% Mom in me, and I have to say that even with all her problems, I am proud of her, and myself. Together we are working towards a much better future, and she is blossoming into a wonderful young lady. Homework is not too much of an issue. She does it with no complaints and will come to us now for help. She wouldn't before. Would not ask any questions. And if I checked it and told her something was wrong, she would be defiant and tell us that SHE was right (math). We have pretty much passed that with me sitting down and showing her step by step where she was going wrong. Somewhere along the lines with all the moving she has done, she didn't get the concepts of "simple" math down properly. She can do algebra, but she can't do division or multiplication without a chart. Sad. So we are working on that concept and trying to show her how to do it properly. I am very proud of her though for the strides she has made since being with us. Yes, she has an IEP. She has had one since pre kinder, I do believe.I remember signing one for her myself in either pre k, or kinder (when her father, my brother, abandoned the kids). The one thing that I WAS happy to see was that apparently SOMEONE along the line noticed that she wasn't developing properly and had her parents put her in an early intervention. The one thing that I hate at the moment, but am also excited, is that we now have to move these girls again! We honestly thought we would be here in LV for a very long time, however, the jobs just are not opening for husband like they were supposed to. One of the guys on the AF base had put his name in specifically for a hire, but AFPC (personnel center) is just not moving. So, husband just got a job working in San Antonio that we just could not turn down. They offered him the highest salary with full benefits. The kids are all excited though to be going. We are keeping our house here in the time being due to the housing situation, so we may end up back here in the next few years. by the way.. thanks for the hugs! [/QUOTE]
