AAWWWWW, how cute are they!!! I do love animals as well. We have a dog, a really big dog; lolol. He is great!! He was a handful when we got him but he has calmed down.

We adopted our doggie from the SPCA. He was abused in his prior home and it took about 3 months to get him settled. He is wonderful now. He does not mess in the house anymore and we can leave him in the house alone without him on destroy mode; lolol. We also have a hampster. He is soooooo cuddly and soft. He loves to cuddle up in my hands. I put him in my hands and lay him close to my face. He loves the warmth of my breathing (as wierd as that may sound). I can put that little guy to sleep even when he wants to run around. He feels like silk and I adore feeling his fur on my cheeks. He is a fat little thing though; lolol. I tried to buy him the tubing to run through---he got stuck; lololol. Just the type of hampster we bought.

I realize looking back at this weekend I could not forsee this happening. I think I did well in maintaining my temper. I was not about to freak with all the kids here. My kids were upset enough so for me to heighten this would not have been helpful. I feel bad for them being placed in this situation but they are okay. My son has a couple of "war wounds" which I think made me the angriest. I have worked hard in teaching my son not to be violent. He used to be sooo agressive and it took so much work on his part to learn how to deal with things apropriately. He does get aggressive at times but nothing near what he was like before. He is a wonderful young boy and is really sensitive. He had many tears while this other kid was here and I had a hard time keeping myself in check. I think most parents are like that when their kids are getting hurt. But I am concerned with the use of language from this boy and his mother. My son repeats things that he hears and I am worried about this. He is already struggling at school and if he uses this type of profanity at school he will get suspened. My little guy has a tough enough time with his ADHD in getting himself into doodoo. He tends to be a follower which can get him into trouble at times. We all have to be careful what we say around him even if we are joking. He takes things so seriously. Someone could make a simple joke and he will follow through with it. EG, (my ex husband used to let our kids watch horror movies and my son tried to copy what he saw. I ended up getting cut with a knife as my son tried to stab me.) I had attempted to grab the knife and got sliced in between my fingers. When I asked him what the heck he was thinking he referred back to this particular movie he had seen. Needless to say I had to lock up anything sharp in our home. He does what he see's not realizing how serious it can be. This incident was a long time ago and my son has come so far. But I still have to lock up things as he tends to harm himself when he is upset or feeling extemely hyper.

Anyway my point to this was my son acts up when things like this happens. It makes me worry about whats going on in his head. I would never forgive myself if something happened to him.

But this woman is not worth hanging around with. Its not a friendship at all. I just am not sure how to say this to her without hurting her. I don't like to hurt others and am not sure how to put this delicately. hmmmmm.

Thanks silver!!! I really appreciate all the feedback, I am at a loss with this.
