Marsupials(Is that the preferred moniker?):
I have been watching "from afar" the situation developing with "the LING CHILDREN" and their inevitable rendezvous with your own rockhoppers.
I want to advise that EXTREME COURTESY be the "attitude of the day" for your little ones when interacting with these Ling Offspring.
Their "Culture" is one of respect formost and indevidual propriety is a distant secondary concern to put it mildly.
I must say that you all have performed with the surgical precision of a well oiled drill team in your dealings with the challenges of your "Family's adjustment" to the neighborhood's Newer Residents.
Your continuous training and retraining of your Foster Children is a testimonial to Cooperative focus on the part of the GROUP to achieve the bigger goal by Controlling the natural desire of the indevidual to seek notoriety.
I think you will be amazed at the VALUE your excellent efforts will prove to hold as you contend with the new "Kids On The Block"...
My highest Respects to you all.
