[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 265793, member: 2459"] Awww thanks Janet. But ... um... no. He's always said it. In fact, he's called me Mom since the second day we ever met him. We met him on a Friday for ...ohhhhh...1/2 hour to 45 minutes with his then foster mom. The next day we picked him up for a 2 week stay. It was an intro period for all of us really. His foster mom was going on vacation (kid free) and difficult child had no idea he was going to be eventually living with us. But within 4 or so hours (if that long) of picking him up, he was calling me mom. Come to think of it....he had to stay with some friends of ours for a few days when husband's grandfather died. It was only a few months after difficult child came to live with us but, as stated, he was calling me mom. He was at my friends for half a day before he asked if he could call HER mom. I hate to say it and I'm sure he means it in his own way but between the mom thing and saying I love you VERY early on, I don't put much stock in it. It's not that I don't believe it, I just don't get all gushy from it, you know? I know a lot of it (if not most of it) comes from his foster experience but still....I just can't bring myself to really believe in it. [/QUOTE]
