SETH- “Thank you so much, Ms. Braun for coming back. Like I said on the phone we are almost ready to make a decision but we just had a couple more questions for you.”
INGRID- “I completely understand, sweetie. These are your children! You have a lot at stake here, and whomever you choose is going to have a huge impact on their little lives.”
MARK- “Exactly. Thank you for understanding. An infants early days and years a very important. So, we need to make sure that the person responsible for the bulk of their care puts forward the same values and way of thinking that we hope to instill in them.”
INGRID- “Oh, don’t I know it!? And you do too I am sure being a therapist and counselor. It is sad these days how some children have no morale compass and have no respect for anyone but themselves. That was one of the reasons I stopped teaching in the schools. I feel I can have a greater impact on the next generation working with them in this type of capacity.”
SETH- “So you told us last time that you have no children of your own. Other than teaching children and working with the family you put down as your reference what other interaction have you had with kids?”
INGRID- “Sweetie, don’t you think being a teacher every day is interaction enough!? I am joking, I helped my sister raise her twins. Having two at the same age is hard, and she needed help being a single mom. Your little ones have two parents and you know how hard it is. Imagine if there were just one of you!! I also have other nieces and nephews that I was constantly around and called upon to sit with. How do you think I got these grey hairs at so young an age?”
