Parents are often overwelmed and seldom have help. It is difficult to get anything done because these children do need constant supervision. Offering assistence is much better than calling CPS when you don't know if this is the norm in their family. If you find out that the children are truly in danger then involve CPS. As a parent, when I got home and heard about a similar incident my husband would get an earful. Threatening divorce is silly, my husband pays the bills, and I raise the kids, that would not be possible without him. You do need to know the whole story. I am off my soapbox and back to the horsey peeps!  |
Unfortunately I don't think I could handle him. I do watch on occation another child with a different disability for a friend and her other children come over often to play or sleep over.
