She's been here for about a month. She started off okay, a few quirks... but then as she's gotten more comfortable I've seen more and more of this. I feel bad, because she really hasn't been here that long, but just in the last week she's gotten comfortable enough to tell my kids that they aren't allowed to play with the toys in our house, that they are "hers". If another child is singing she yells "stop it!" and tells me they need to be quiet. She even tries to tell me what we should be doing.
It's a lot of little things, and I'm pretty understanding about behavior quirks. As I've mentioned my son has diagnosed behavior issues. That being said, though, I still discipline for poor behavior, (of course!) Mom and Dad are very nice people, but the problem is that they don't even like the 1,2,3 method. They support that I use 1,2,3 and time outs, but I do not believe that they do it at home.
I'm just not connecting with this girl. I find her exhausting. I find her behavior exhausting. Is one month enough time to have put in before I consider terminating?
