[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 489212, member: 1169"] I think you are handling this very well. The oldest two's father is smart to give the kids a chance to adjust. Since you have only had the kids for a few weeks, it really is too soon to do anything. I would suggest contacting an attorney who specializes in family law. The Power of Attorney was a good idea to prove that the parents intended to let the children live with you (rather than just a long visit) but it doesn't legally transfer custody unless it is made into a court order. Once the older two have gone to their father, you may find it easier to get the younger ones to learn manners, etc. I suggest reading "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene and deciding (with your husband) which behaviors are in each basket. You won't be able to fix all of the problems at once, but hopefully, if you tackle the problems one at a time, you can make some progress. [/QUOTE]
