Some Parents, I Tell Ya...

[Unregistered]

Normally G-Ma, that's what they call her- it's not shorthand, picks up or if it is a Tuesday/Thursday she takes the center bus to her dad's house for her visits. G-Ma has never had any issues with us the whole time the little girl has come here. The few times I've interfaced with Mom have been pleasant enough; nothing too suspicious. She's not overly friendly or social. When she does pick up she kind of rushes in, grabs the coat/bookbag and rushes the little girl out of the room, sometimes instructing her to tell us "goodbye." That, in of itself, is not unusual though, because a lot of our parents work two or three jobs and are rushing from one to another or on a dinner break. Unfortunately, in her overall demeanor I don't see any blaring red flags, but again, my actual experience with her is limited. I LOVE G-Ma-- I just wish she didn't swear at, in, or around the baby.

Is it possible that when the child said she hadn't eaten since whatever day, could it be because she "chose" not too? Maybe mom made something to eat and the child didn't like it or want to eat it.

I also agree with Angeljs and that the mom may have an entirely different definition of what types of foods constitute as "crap".

I have a young married couple who do NOT eat ANY type of vegetables....unless you count french fries.... the mom ALWAYS refers to anything healthy as crap or worthless junk.
