MWM- I just don't think I could make myself send her away, not at this point at least. It's so hard bc when she is happy she can be so sweet & it's like having two different kids. I would say unfortunately but I guess in this situation it's fortunate, our house is way too small. Doors are not allowed to be closed & we monitor them as constantly as possible which is not hard bc theres nowhere to hide. Only JB & SJ are allowed outside without me or husband watching them. I really don't think any of them are afraid of her bc shes never been violent besides to animals or hurting herself. I know for sure MC isn't afraid of her, he bullies her so that would really only leave RB (bc the older girls don't take any bs from her) & he is usually glued to me or husband. The girls share a room (for what it's worth they have separate beds & the room is actually 20'x15' bc it's supposed to be the den) & the boys share a room, so I can't lock her in or put an alarm on the door. Plus SJ & JB report anything & everything anyone does & they definitely wouldn't be afraid to tell me if she was being inappropriate. I'm not dismissing what you're saying at all, I guess I just don't want to give up on her & there hasn't been any indication of her being a threat to the other kids.
