Riley's going to Utah with my parents tomorrow. Im not quite sure how i feel about that. I know i'll miss him tons. Every time my mind wanders and i think "ill get to go out more cause i dont need to find a babysitter, yay" i immediatley start feeling guilty. He's also had some behavioral issues the past few months that i just dont understand. Like pooping his pants. He never did it at school but it seems like every day the second he got home i'd start to smell it. Ive punished him every way possible and he still continued. Hes better now but it still happens at least once a week. Being an only child hes still not good with sharing his toys with the neighbor kids and stuff. My parents know of the issues but maybe they'll straighten him out.... which makes me feel like a failure.
I can think of lots of pros, as well as some cons. but I think in the end maybe it'll be overall good for him. In the very least he'll have gone from living with my little siblings for 2 years, to not seeing them for almost 3 years, to getting to live with them for 1.5 months. He should have fun. I just want him to be happy and enjoy his time there. we'll see.
