[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Np here How do you interact with the boys are you committing to the parental role? Do they view you as a parental figure or as a caregiver? Do you plan on raising them?  Have you established a structured evening routine or bedtime? Do they attend school? If so how is their behavior at school? I'm not trying to be critical just seeking insight on the situation. FWIW my 5 year old son just started Kinder and he also wears Huggies at night. I've never given him an option for diapers or pull ups. I kept him in diapers because he's easier to change when sleeping. [/quote]

Hey there! Sorry for the slow answer...but, yes indeed! The plan, while it's changed gradually over the course of Covid, etc--is for me to take on a parental role (I have custody at the moment).

To be perfectly honest, the two of them (and even myself still) still see me as more of a goofy, fun, silly aunt. As in previous times, I was often the 'fun' one that would let them get away with things others wouldn't, and overall let them have a good time. The shift to taking on a parental roll was admitedly VERY abrupt and unexpected, and all of us are still trying to get used to the idea still to this day. The boys, in general-- seem to love being here. But if I had to describe the situation right now (of transitioning to being a full-time home for them) it would be 'awkward'. Because, as I said before...I was always the 'fun' unstructured aunt. We HAVE actually done a much better with following a evening routine, when it comes to brushing teeth, cleaning up after dinner, winding down, etc.

They aren't in school just yet, but depending on how the situation end up with *my* work situation, and working remote. The idea has already been tossed about of trying to do a sort of hybrid homeschool, at least for a little while. They do however get along VERY well with other kids, particularly kids much younger, or way older than they are.[/quote]
