I just emailed the lady and told her i have decided against adopting him. Without going into to many details this last year has been very challenging to say the least, with our 14 yo son. I like to pretend that everything k is okay. But the pay couple of days have really opened my eyes a bit. He is so angry and defiant. Today I'm actually thinking of a home for troubled youth??
I don't think it's fair to bring in a new dog, that is going to be upset and scared already into my unpredictable ( using this term lightly) home.
I'm just so sad. Charlie seemed perfect. Have to keep reminding myself that your time will come. 3 1/2 more years, ...please don't think i do not love my son, but sometimes it's very challenging to like him.
I'm a kitchen manager at an Elem school. Today during breakfast, a first grader came through the line with a sad look on his face, i said Philip what's wrong, why are you so sad, he pulled it of his pocket .07. , he says this is all i have for the book fair,omg that just broke my heart. I said what book do you want? He said diary of a wimpy kid. I said does it matter which one? He said no any of them. I told him go sit down I'll be right back. The book was 7.00 that was the best money i gaffer EVER spent. Taught me a lesson today, probably a little to late, my kids do not go without anything. Nice clothes, phones, computers, etc.these kids that have nothing appreciate everything. Ok im done, thanks for listening..
