I am on medication for my panic attacks and have not had one in about a year. And yes I did inform them of this when going thru the homestudy. We had in our contract that we would only accept 2 kids but have been waiting for months and I really thought I COULD handle it or I would not have taken them. Plus we had two previous placements we were all set to get fall thru. I am totally doing this for the right reason to help kids but if I cannot keep track of them in crowded parking lots(darting off)what am I supposed to do? I don't want one of them-my son included to run in front of a car. And I totally RESENT the post that says I do not give the same amount of care to these kids. I have only had them one day but if anything it is my kids that have gotten the short end of the stick just because they are older. I certainly would not make the same mistake twice about accepting more kids than I could handle. I am not the reason these wonderful kids are in care. And I may be overprotective but if you were placing your kids in daycare wouldnt you rather someone overprotective watched them or someone that let them ride in the road at age 5? Believe me I feel horrible about this being too much for me. Maybe I will just do the best I can and try to stick it out. So much for the "support"
