[QUOTE="slsh, post: 37026, member: 8"] CAMom - another one who agrees wholeheartedly with- Suz. Coming home needs to be reward enough. We used to try to plan activities from dawn til dusk when thank you came home for a home visit, but that is just so unrealistic. Not only are we homebodies by nature, but he came to expect that we'd be Disneyland parents every visit. He's told me on more than one occasion that a home visit is a "vacation from the stress of Residential Treatment Center (RTC)". Somehow, I don't think that's the purpose of a home visit. [img]:wink:[/img] Home visits now mean he slides into the normal dull routine around here - the other kids' activities, chores, a DVD on Sat nite, maybe a walk with- me, etc. Probably the only thing we do out of the ordinary is a fast food meal. The point here isn't how thilled you are that he's home, it's how thrilled *he* should be at having finally earned the privilege to spend the weekend with- the family. in my humble opinion. [/QUOTE]
