Great....just Great!!

[Judy Trickett]

You know my dcg who's turning 1 next week? The one I've had since she was 8mos old and who screamed her head off all day long unless I held her? The one who still doesn't know to feed herself (finger food) or hold her own bottle? The one who will not play if I'm in the room but once I leave is into everything....I re-enter and she whimpers for me to pick her up.........yeah that one.

Okay, time for Judy the "bitch" as I have often been called but................. ..this is exactly why I will NOT keep kids who can't come into care and transition within a normal time frame. I will NOT invest time and energy and frustration and anxiety and suffer pure HELL for months on end for ANY kid. Because, in the end, regardless of how much YOU (and the rest of the kids in care) have suffered and compromised the parents still do not appreciate you or understand the investment you have made when you could have terminated and took on an "normal, easy" kid.

Nope, this is why I will not do SPECIAL or keep a kid who is not working in care. WE are the only ones who ever pay for that.
