I am so proud of you and her, you will do what needs to be done, that is motherhood and fine people.
We raised a boy that they said could not learn, he was Bill’s adopted son and 11 when I met him.
Bill and his family loved him, but they talked about how he could not learn in front of him and taught him nothing, cause he could not learn.
Leave it up to me, almost 50 years later, Bill’s family thought of me as the wicked step mother.
We were lucky, I set him to doing his share of the chores, and as he was in a special class at school, he had drawn a real teacher who cared.
When it came time to go and visit with her, she told me to keep on pushing and teaching.....as he was so proud of what he had learned, and she named off the small chores that he had mastered.
Now he is 56 years old and we talk about some of it, he remembers how special that teacher was.
He works, he keeps a job for years, as long as the boss does not issue a long string of orders and expect him to understand them.
He is a good person and the world is lucky to have him in it.
He is also the one who shows up to take me to the doctor and buys all my supplies.
Not bad for a kid, who could not learn.
My own daughter was a real brain and she is too lazy to use it.
No, she does not live close enough to visit, so Scott is the best son any mother could ask for.
If you are able to use some of the links, then the effort is worth it.
It is hard to guess what each of you need, so LOL, you get pot luck links.
Our public schools are a disgrace. They seem to push a child along just to get them out of their class. I'm speaking of my GC here and they are 'normal'. The amount of homework they bring home every day is staggering.
I'd like to know just how their teachers earn their paychecks, maybe by checking their homework assignments. lol

Oh my. I could not imagine saying something like that about her and especially not in front of her. If he's 56 now, it was a different era. I had a brother who died when he was in his 30's from meningitis and would be a little older than your son is now. It was common (at least around our home) to do everything for him because they said he could not learn.
He is a good person and the world is lucky to have him in it.
I agree. Lucky that my little girl is in it as well.
Not bad for a kid, who could not learn.
Not bad at all. ;)
When our little girl was born all the doctors from her pediatrician to her neurosurgeon advised us to just let her go peacefully. That she would never be more than a piece of wood. I damned near took all their collective heads off for those comments. I still get angry when I remember that professional advice. *scoffs*

I have printed out many of the recipes and put them in my file cabinet. Bookmarks and links won't help much if we don't have electricity to use our computers. lol
