When will they learn that they are supposed to be where they say?

[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 12898, member: 393"] Vent away.... Does difficult child have the common sense/skills to call home when he's delayed, detoured, or to check in? Would that be a life skill that would help him "stay the course", if you will? difficult child was wrong - he didn't follow instructions. I know that many times kt & wm get very "distracted" on instructions & need to be walked through step by step. I wonder if difficult child didn't miss out on certain life skills while in foster care that he needs to catch up on. When tweedles dee & dum were placed here, we (stupidly) assumed that 6 year old skills & expectations were a no brainer. We found out that they had so much to learn that they had missed in bio home & then in foster care. It's taken years & we are still playing catch up. Just the fact that your difficult child, walked back to get his medications, indicates at least to me, that he was being responsible about medications, but hadn't a clue as to the time he was "missing". I often wonder how many of the life skills our difficult children, who were older when adopted, missed out on? Okay I rambled off .... way off. Glad difficult child is back & safe. Hope things settle down quickly [/QUOTE]
