Is there some kind of screw holding the handle onto the valve? I'm thinking about the handle for one of the hoses at work. It has a small square peg with a threaded hole in the middle on the faucet side, the back of the handle has a square in it with the hole, we are missing the screw. If the screw is loose, it's possible that the handle was backed up off far enough to not spin the valve the first time you moved it. And you have unintentionally re-indexed the handle on the valve. If this sounds like what your valve looks like, then just reindex it the right way and tighten the screw.

If it is not like this and it doesn't seem like there is any way that the handle could spin without the valve moving, you might want to replace it even if it's not leaking. That doesn't mechanically make sense how that could work, that might cause you problems at some point, like the next time you need to use it.

It's also possible that it's not fully turned on in this situation. Like it could be about 3/4 of the way open, enough to give you the water pressure you would expect out of one or two faucets at a time.

I'm genuinely curious, feel free to not reply if this becomes too personal.

How long was your boy in the system? If he entered at 3 months, my assumption is you wouldn't have been able to completely adopt him until at least a year old, small chance it was sooner, large chance it was later. I would have to think that hoarding food, sleeping in a closet, and not trusting people could have likely been developed at an orphanage or poor foster home. I understand that the actual fetal development of the child will play a role, but I am not inclined to think that the behavior would continue if the environment was corrected at an early enough age.

All that being said, that's why I think it's important to know how long your child was in the system and how old he was when he was adopted. I don't assume that you created an environment that would promote or encourage this behavior or way of thinking.

I also see my girlfriend and her two brothers acting similarly to their parents in the way that they are all forgetful, loud, messy, and not necessarily the sharpest knives in the drawer. I may not have a ton of experience with other adopted people and knowing their parents, but this nearly proves to me that it all depends on the environment you are raised in. They are all from different parts of the world and different ages, but they all act the same.

That makes sense, but the original post says skip intro button for parenting, not making a child.

This is true, but the way the original post is phrased, it makes it sound like it's more about raising the child rather than developing the child.

What do you mean exactly? I could see how proper feeding and maybe some mental stimulation would matter, but especially on the 3-month side, I would have to argue with you.

I don't know age/adoption stats, however my GF and ger 2 brothers were all adopted, all between 3 and 9 months old.

I think they were pretty much clean slates, and I think that may still be in the "intro."
