TRIGGS
A coworker of mine is currently a guardian for an 8YO boy. They got him when he was 17 months. He has reactive attachment disorder (I could be mangling that). The gist is his mom had no contact with him when he was born, she slept all day and left him doing who knows what. She begged the state to take him; they told her family to help her and left the baby there. Finally the granny found my coworker and asked if they would take the baby. The coworker said they cannot show this little boy any affection. Absolutely no hugs, pats on the back, touseling of hair, nothing. If someone is unaware and does this, he goes nuts. All because his mom didn't love him when he was a baby.
We are so instrumental in molding our LOs. Hug your babies and look them in the eyes. That's what my coworker told me to do and now I'm sharing with you guys. This story has really bothered me. Something so small as a hug means so much. So hence my who cares about the clothes, car, bags, etc. attitude.

One of my DDs BFFs at daycare wears the craziest stained outfits every day. Her hair appears to have never seen a brush. But eh, what do I care! She's sweet and her and DD play well together.
I am obsessed with bags. In fact I got a new fancy smancy one for Mother' Day. My LOs wear name brands, I drive a fancy car.
My kids get filthy, my bag gets filthy AND my car is filthy. Who cares! It's just stuff. If you've got it great; if you don't, oh well.
I didn't take offense to anything MM posted. My question is why take the little girl to the park if all you are going to do is quiz her?View Thread

But yes back to your original post, I could type a novel as to the craziness that is our life. It's great! (As I sit here and exhale....)View Thread
