Mom called today and literally begged me to keep her son on. As I suspected, she won't be sending the sibling, but she wants to continue sending her boy. She gave me the whole, "he loves it there so much, and it seems so cruel to rip him away from people that he has a bond with".

I relented. He's staying. I feel like a pushover.

One more thing though, I think I will reach my breaking point...
