[QUOTE="mrscatinthehat, post: 109285, member: 2063"] You know it is so hard to garner up the gumption to figure out what to do. difficult child 2 ran the night before the party. He was found with cigarettes and a lighter. Well staff thought that they had gotten everything from him. Guess what. They didn't. They called this morning to let us know what he did last night. We weren't here so I called back this afternoon to find out what was up. He had gotten a bunch of paper towels and set them around him and had a lighter and said that he was going to light them and kill himself that way. Well now this is not his first firebug moment. He didn't get them lit. But this is not necessarily the point. All's I can drum up is a lot of sighs. Then the case supervisor (not even the manager but supervisor) asked if we were still planning on having him come home on the 26th. I said I didn't know and that I wasn't prepared to make that decision today. She said ok. I said since he doesn't know that we will probably be making that decision on the morning of the 26th. She was ok with that and said she understands. If he does come home his dad will essentially take him into the restroom on his return and strip him to his undies to make sure no contraband goes back. How sad is that? Not that we won't do it because he is so capable of being sneaky and clepto-y (I know it isn't a word). You know husband and I are celebrating Christmas with extended family and we plan to enjoy it. I certainly am not feeling bad about difficult child not being there at this point. And that feels so wrong. Beth [/QUOTE]
