Found out I'm becoming a full-time guardian, on short notice...? How do you adjust?
Hey there everyone! Apologies for not knowing where exactly to post this. But, just thought I'd ask, in case anyone has some pointers for a situation I've found myself in.
Long story short, I'm being given fulltime (kinship) custody, of my little nephew (5.5 yrs old), on VERY short notice-- and am feeling quite unprepared and clueless.
How on earth do you transition from being a part-time aunt, to a full-time, 24/7 parent, in a blink? It's already felt equally awkward for both myself, and my nephew (who is used to me being his silly, goofy, crazy aunt). But, trying to make it work out! :)

No one is ever really ready....
i know you must love your nephew and love can helps us do things we never thought we could. just do the best you can and in the end the child will know you were doing your best.
