So here it is again...
This lady came in to my fiance's work(mind you he works at a furniture store, so he sees and heres a lot of crazy things). She comes in ranting on how she cant stand her kids, that they are bad kids, etc., etc.
Well he just tends to listen to peoples sob stories but what had caught him off guard was that she had saiid something about exchanging her kids (putting them up for adoption) and adopting new ones. She had said something about Russia. He felt that she was serious about this whole thing. And there is no way of filing a report to CPS because he doesn't know who she is.
it just blows my mind on how people think. I dontthink that you should give up your kids for new ones just because you are fed up with your own. Have you ever heard of this?
Sorry ladies!
My phone has been acting funny!
Just noticed in my emails that there was something wrong.
I think she is just venting, at least I HOPE she is just stressed out and only venting.
Someone who is that disinhibited about with whom and where they discuss such important, life altering decisions, I seriously doubt has the fortitude to follow through on her threats.
Heard of it, it has crossed my mind. Granted, I was not serious. I really doubt this women was either. If she were, she wouldn't be bragging it up at the furniture store.
i imagine she is pulling his leg
Hello R., As a foster mother I have seen much of this attitude. It is a shame that these children who are really lost becasue they donn't understand it is the parent with the problem not them and it stays with them for many years. I have seen little ones that wore coats of armor so they could protect themselves from the onset of ugly words and emotions.
I agree that this children should be protected and wish that there were better laws in force to do so. I often think we have better animal rights laws than we do for children. With so many people that desire to adopt it's a shame she doesn't release them so that they can be given a fair chance.
I can only say that being nice to a child is the greatest gift you may give esp if that child has noone at home that is nice.
I hope she's not serious! LOL (I cant imagine foreign kids being any better than her own!)
She was probably just ranting and making a joke because she was frustrated.
I think if she says it again to your fiancee, or suddenly stops talking about it, then someone should call Social Service to investigate.
She sounds like a shopper, and not an employee? He may want to photocopy an order to keep safely at work in case anything really happens.
CRAZY!!!!
She sounds frustrated. The thing is, her children are so out of control because of bad parenting. Getting new ones would only bring heartache to more people. And, there is no way she would ever be approved to adopt if she just gave away her children. She's just ranting. Sounds like she doesn't want children at all. Or, rather, she doesn't want the work that comes with them. Perhaps she thinks they are pets or something.
are you kidding???? can she do that???
i have never hear about that ...that's crazy
She can't be serious.
When I read your post I thought about the woman who adopted a child from Russia and was having a lot of trouble with him so she put him on a plane to Russia to return him. This happened a few weeks (months?) ago. Apparently the child was very violent and it was because of his life before being adopted. She was probably venting.
Either she is joking, or someone needs to call social services.
My suggestion would be the woman is mentally ill.
I would have liked to see what was posted.
I know Megan, me too! It was deleted as quickly as it was posted. Maybe one of the other women could fill us in on this. I know the title was Exchanging Children or something along those lines.
