I went from having 3 kids to almost 6 kids now. My brother in law is in jail and his ex wife is a junkie and constantly in and out of jail. I love them but having this many kids to take care or exhausting 😪
You are amazing! Make sure to take advantage of state preschool for all those 3+ if they aren’t school age. Summer is about half way over, hang in there!!! Also, if you don’t receive services, see if you qualify now and if you do, see if you can get more to help out. I wonder if there is another family member, that while they might not be able to take them in, could come over and babysit for an afternoon or help contribute in some way.
I have 6. Its slot to handle. You Got this tho. Your doing something good for those kids. I have 6 but I even offered for my niece to come live with me this past year due to poor family conditions. But she declined cause shes a teen..and I have rules lol..❤
@rosemom, @hilligermomx2, @earthymama, thank you guys 😭 my heart breaks for these kids. They don’t eat unless I feed them. Their “mom” made them live off ramen noodles because she was either too drunk or too hung over to cook for them. Their dad was always our dealing drugs so the best he could do was order them take out food. Before he got locked up he got together with some chick and got her pregnant. She was playing mommy for a few months but she dropped them off and ran. Can’t say I blame her. These kids don’t have any stability but I’ll give them what I can.
@anap1012 well 12 and almost 8 they are and the 8 yr old throws hr long tantrums, yelling at the top of her lungs, throwing stuff, harming herself, trashing rooms... we got custody of her 2 yrs ago... totally more then a hand full.🥺
