We have had one break down of sobbing on Saturday

We have had one good conversation about how life changed when child #6 came home. How life will change again when child # 7 comes home. 

Discussed some coping mechanisms
.
Conversation spiraled to "my brother had more control over the family when he was 12 than what I'm allowed"
Probed that one a bit...translation "I'm not allowed to boss my sisters the same way that I perceive my brother was allowed to"

Had a conversation about being content and "how can you expect me to be content?"
 "No dear, we do not expect that for QUITE awhile, but we/you need to work on it"

Had a short discussion about if everyone gets equal money and land when we die. Oh and if a family adopts a child and then has one born to them..."who is the oldest child?"

I assured the child that I don't plan to die for quite awhile and they should not expect a big inheritance because we don't have much....oh I forgot...we have LOTS of land....yup that six acres is just the right size for everyone to build a house on it.
