Id talked to mom about the crying for a little over a month on an almost daily basis so when it came to termination she wasn't upset or surprised, id like to think she respected me enough for trying with her child that long. (she wasn't always so unhappy it seemed she just got real colicy and i had 5 other kids, 2 babies to care for so it wasn't gonna happen)
Its not easy but if its to the point to where its them or your sanity choose you and your sanity
thats just what id do. i have to be the best i can for my family, and the ones i care for.
I have a baby like this that is pretty much going to be getting let go as well. She has been with me since 3.5 months old. She is almost 9 months. She has gotten worse instead of better. Most babies improve while in care. She will not sleep in a crib and cries most of the time. If she does sleep it isn't for long. She is sent home early almost daily. I was hoping mom would pull by now but hasn't. She starts off fine in the beginning of the day and then within an hour is screaming and crying.We have a full daycare and it makes everyone mad.
