howbizarre
Whitmore Alumni:
Me not having a bed nor room was before i went to the whitmore I now do have one. I don't know, because being grateful for having a bed teaches you about how homeless people feel and what they would do for a bed to sleep on and a shower and many things like that. I am not however trying to compare the whitmore as homeless kids. it was just an example

Howbizzare, have heard that before from my child who was at Whitmore! Hated that bus a lot! Kids had to sleep on it when they visited at Shayla's. And riding on it from Lake Powell was reported as "terrible."
Whitmore Alumni:
yes but now ask your child if he or she was grateful for having a bed.

I don't have to ask. Having your OWN bedroom and bed, and having the room furnished with your OWN THINGS--TV, Stereo System, Play Station, Computer System, Personal things, clothes, etc...and having your OWN bath room is more-or-less just an "expectation" for kids in our house. So I don't expect graditude--so I am sure if I asked, I probably would not receive any. That is just how our house is. Everybody just has their OWN.
I'm sure sharing at the Whitmore was an adjustment. But, that was fine--no real complaints except for having NO LINENS...sleeping on a filthy sleeping bag. Having 2 minute timed showers was bad, as was being constantly sleep deprived to accomodate Cheryl's marathon Group sessions. But there was no expression of gratitude for having a bed--that was just an "expectation."
