[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 445280, member: 1157"] I don't think Youngest has thought about SSI angle, honestly I think she just loses interest or gets distracted by other things (like the new boyfriend) and simply can't be bothered. She only got Ella into the early intervention program because I looked up the information and gave it to her. I also happened to be at a pediatrician appointment with her and the doctor recommended she contact the program, so I pushed her to follow through and make the appointments. At the time, we were sharing a vehicle, so I also took her and Ella to the all appointments. If I hadn't done all that, it's possible she might have started missing appointments long ago. But heck, these appointments are in our home... how difficult is that?! Stop reminding her, and the kids suffer. Keep reminding her, and she never takes responsibility for it herself. My therapist tells me that these kids are likely going to suffer, regardless of what I do, and that I have to accept that, as hard as it may be. Those are the consequences of Jess choosing to have kids when she was so ill-prepared for motherhood. Tough choices. [/QUOTE]
