Just tired and wanted to to rant and eee if anyone else is in my position!
So my fiancé and I are only 20 years old we have 2 girls under 1.5 and then one on the way.
Now we just got Emergency custody of his 2 cousins who are 4 and 2 and both have been fully neglected and in foster care the 4 year old isn’t potty trained she’s scared to ask for food when she’s hungry and overall super behind because of her circumstances she was in! She also acts out a lot but I don’t blame her as she’s had it so rough!
I feel we’re doing as best as we can we started potty training, have potty charts, prize boxes we also have a open door policy so when ever she wakes up in the morning and is hungry to come wake us up and obviously we won’t get upset (like her previous member she was living with) we’ve been doing all we can and I mean we’re struggling financially as it is. I half to get her potty trained before she can go to school which she desperately keeps asking me why she can’t go,
On top of that the oldest one keeps telling my fiancé and i that we’re her new mom and dad and that she never wants to leave us but we’ve spoke to her and told her “ we are kinda like a mom and dad temporarily, we love you like our own but we’re not your mommy and daddy”
So ya I mean we’re doing the best we can with almost 5 kids now 😂😂 and were both 20! Thank gosh we have our own place and some stuff together😝😄
