A child taking on adult responsibility of siblings.

March 18, 2006

[font=Tahoma]I have 4, one of my kids, my G-man comes out in the morning, and very often when it is just him and me, will snuggle and say something like:[/font]

[font=Tahoma]Mom, do you think "A" (his biomom) loves God? [/font]

[font=Tahoma]He is 7, and knew his bio mom til age 4, I help him remember what he or the SW told me in a good light. Our chats are good, I think. [/font]

[font=Tahoma]My concern is when he gets upset because his little sisters don't remember her. He will come to me and say, "tell them mom, about her." I have in the past, but the girls arn't real interested in her. He gets a bit frustrated. [/font]

[font=Tahoma]I am putting things into it here, but my gut feeling is that biomom told him to never forget her, or let his sisters forget him. He is the little man, protector of them and his older(not bio) brother. Just wondering if anyone else has dealt with this in a sibling group?[/font]
