Sorry CR! I talked to DH but didn't get a definitive answer. We are also dealing with the oldest DD. Seems she is tired of playing by our rules and wants to move out. Of course there is a young man involved who is a bad influence. We love her and don't want to see her get hurt! I know who has my back but it is still heart-wrenching all the same.

I been there done this with my daughter. It is very painful to watch them derail their lives. I don't really understand why my DD had to go through the phase she did. I just know that it did pass. Just remember that you have done your job, and that she has the right to be miserable. Just do your best to support her without contributing to the insanity. We remove all financial assistance when our DD hooked up to a guy twice her age that couldn't read or write. She met him at the Community College's tutoring program. It was so hard to watch a girl that had graduated from the CC at the age of 18 with an AA degree, give up all the advantages of graduating early. She didn't get her BS from the UofW until she was 26. She did grow out of it, and is living the life that she should. So you have much support in a difficult time.

It is so much better that the cancer has been located as early as it has. It is highly unlikely that you die from this. The worst part will be the treatments to take care of the known risk. You have a lot of people that love you and are pulling for you.

She left tonight knowing that we love her and are here if she gets into a dangerous spot. It's NOT a revolving door but definitely a safe haven in a time of trouble.
Thanks for the well wishes. Y'all are the best!

Love the last one too - like an exotic penguin or something!

The last one is our baby serama...her name is Bumble. The big ones are orpingtons.

Broody just remember A A and always be there for her. It is a pretty common thing at about that age. Heck as old as I am I can still remember.

Just think back. It will all work out. I bet 4312 could shine a little light too.

I'll tell you how my neighbor did it

his son has a small scoop-bucket tractor

they hooked chains around the coop, slid the bucket of the tractor under one corner and side, ratcheted the chains tight, then lifted the bucket up, then drove the coop over to our place

this supposes that the coop /barn you want to move is not as heavy as the tractor -- LOL -- balance you know

otherwise, can you find someone with a forklift ?

alternatively, get several round poles, longer than the barn is wide, and ROLL it along, picking up each round pole as it is rolled over, and putting it in front of the barn --- might take quite a crew to shove and push, or wind a tow strap around the barn and pull slowly with a vehicle

I am so sorry you are having all of this pain. I a sorry about your DD...it is hard to stand by and let them do what you know is going to be a painful/wrong choice. You so don't need more stress in your life right now. Prayers for you both.

going through the same thing with 18 yo DS. Don't have any good advice. We pretty much told him the same thing you told her. It is really hard...but I am told they will grow out of this and come through on the other side doing well. I just pray for him nightly.
