I have a 3.5 yr old dcg. Mom drops off at 8 this morning. She says she won't be at work but has a few errands to run and will be at the library most of the day to research some stuff for classes she takes in college. Well little girl gets diarrhea (3X and the explosive kind) and I start calling her cell (only phone she has) and get no response around 8:45. She has no voice mail so I am only hoping she notices the missed call. I call again at 9, 9:30, 9:45 and so on.....Finally at around noon I call the library (my Aunt works there so I have an inside contact) and ask if the mom's been there yet today...nope they haven't seen her all day...Hmmm? :confused: Where would you go and not be reachable for your child? I just don't understand!! Anyways I call the 2 people she has on her emergency contact list and neither answer! So in my frustration, I call the Police Department and asked their community service officer if he could go to mom's apartment and let her know she is being searched for!
Needless to say, DCM comes in about an hour later and acts like nothing happened...I ask her if she got my message and she says no. I told her I called her phone like 50 times and she say, "Oh, I had it on silent because i was at the library all morning." I said "No you weren't! I called and talked to my aunt and you haven't been there all day, do you want me to call and asked her again?" DCM says "No." Anyways after a bit more lecturing from me about being responsible and not leaving your child unless you are reachable, she leaves like I am the bad guy!!!!! This is the 3rd time I've had an issue reaching mom before so I told he rfrom now on that I wil do call checks and if she doesn't respond within 10 minutes she will be termed IMMEDIATELY! I just don't get some parents!! I left like 20 numbers to find me when I left my kids anywhere!!! I also called provider if I had any changes to where I'd be..Grrrrrrr. Had to vent!!
I just want to add that I would normally never resort to calling the police but I have had some issues with this mom before and she has some mental health issues as well so all of that does play a part in her actions. Of course none of it is bad enough that CPS ever does anything about it but I still try. Which is half the reaosn I don't term...This mom has a 15 yr old that i used to have before he went to Kindergarten so I feel for the kids but I can only put up with so many things in one day....and she is also the type of mom that doesn't ever seem to get it no matter what I say or do.
