I strongly disagree with the CW. I think of it in terms of marriage...would I be ready to leave my husband for a new man after knowing the new man for 2-3 weeks? Our son was less than 6 months old when he came home and we could only see the real problems about 6 months later...after a long honeymoon. You're wise to question what you're hearing!
