So the girls are doing a lot better, they still think I am mean every time I say no or don't let them have 2 cupcakes or 27 glasses of juice, but I'll take progress where I can get it.
I think the part about foster parenting that I greatly underestimated as a single, never had kids individual, is the loss of personal time. I know babies are completely dependent and needy and they need you all the time, but apparently all kids require a lot of attention.
It seems silly when I write it, but all my quiet time, is now spent educating kids on the benefits of eating vegetables and bathing daily and wearing coats when it is cold outside. Hopefully, as we develop a routine this exhaustion will resolve some...is it bad that I miss the quiet?
