You are in control of the situation. If it isn't working, you know what to do. When you let them control your life and your home, then it becomes a problem. As long as you know you're trying to help that's all that matters. If she doesn't accept it, there's not a thing you can do but say "I tried". Don't worry about it so much! Relax and smile and make them feel welcome. Love you sweetie!!BBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09432729957196570774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753097304568263004.post-17244483612316982582011-10-12T22:46:40.166-04:002011-10-12T22:46:40.166-04:00This is the right thing.

Maybe instead of worrying about things being up out of the way, think of things that will make them welcome. <br /><br />You are a very kind couple to do this.Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04219479223227928561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753097304568263004.post-24107636708965788312011-10-12T22:36:49.278-04:002011-10-12T22:36:49.278-04:00You sound as tho' you are losing your smile a ...You sound as tho' you are losing your smile a little bit there Col'.<br /> <br />You and your husband have made a very generous offer to a very desperate family, and have laid very few ground rules.<br /> <br />Please try not to overthink this. I think it will work out a whole lot better than you are dreading because you and your husband may have a lot more stability than others have offered.<br /> <br />Stop worrying about the house. Move chemicals and meds out of reach of the 4 year old, and put your breakables away for the time being. Your house isn't going to kill them. I swear. Look at me - I got 4 to adult hood and one's a teenager. It's when I let the little snots outside that they got hurt [shark bite? running into a wall? bowling ball injury?]<br /> <br />Please, please don't worry. Your stability and love will go a long way to making their life better. As long as she follows the rules and if she doesn't then you know what you have to do.<br /> <br />Take care, hugs and love from my heart.SkippyMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479661523059481730noreply@blogger.com
