Control over my own life. That's exactly what I want. Thank you.

I agree that the requests by them selves are not over the top. It's just the schedule of those and more all put together. Just wanted to know if or when I could draw a line for Cw's to help. We have an excellent new visit coordinator. She realized how rediculous our schedule is w/out me even asking the other day. We now have 2 kids visit on same day and 1 more for baby on Mon. Yay! Down to 2 days a week running to town.

I noticed there hasn't been any comments about foster kids especially needing routine. This one of my many concerns about our schedule that was quickly adding up. I wanted things to be reliable, predictable, and calm around here for all the children. But I was having things going on 5 + days a week. Do you find this helpful with yours? A routine?

Rsong- Yes, she just had her second visit after a 3 week break. Her reactions before the break to visits were very disturbing. And only became worse since they resumed. So we are meeting with a specialist weekly after visits from here on out. And she is requesting that FD be able to take her security (Me) w/ her to visits. I really don't think that would be fair to the mother though. If I were her, it would break my heart to see my little girl going to someone else to get reassurance.

For the record though, alot of you on that last thread were right. I could have left the faux hawk on. It was pretty stinkin cute. Not my preference, but adorable. He has a marine cut now and thankfully loves to wear hats. So it's not that bad, it only took 20+ minutes, and pregnancy hormones have calmed down
