[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 71417, member: 3647"] Stressed, I think you are worried (for good reason, since it has happened already) that somebody is going to call CPS on you. You should not be so worried because you are doing an excellent job. Your worry is coming through as insecurity. And I do not believe that you are insecure with raising those kids. But my feeling is that you may be coming across that way. For example, my reaction if my kid had been fake crying would have been "all right, Tink. Knock it off." It almost seems like what you said to him was way more for staff's benefit than for the child's. These staff members have seen crocodile tears before. If it took you to say "stop with the fake crying", that would have been all you had to say. You would not have had to explain yourself. Please stop second guessing yourself. These kids are so fortunate to have you. [/QUOTE]
