totally here you there!!!! There are a few Poopy parents out there who make it harder for all the others when it comes to the worlds view on "working parents" I have had MANY parents pick up in dif clothes and dif hair-do. I had one Mom come with her hair and nails RE-DONE. and pick up late, like really late. This Mom no-joke was a little twisted. Would go to hair salon and pick up late, would go to Dance Lessons! and pick up late. I gave her son baths and got him ready for bed! my husband and I had to drive around town looking for her one night on our way to a Date Night! (our own children were @ gram and gramps) finally found her in line at a subway at 9pm!!! on her cell phone, didnt get off the phone to say SORRY or THANKYOU! didnt even say hello to her son!!!! I kept him for so long (instead of terminating) because I felt he was "better off" with me. his home was disfunctional, sister literally sent to a phsyc hospital for a while (bypolar?) this kid didnt stand a chance.....I gave him 4 years of a good life! my mom said I was crazy! most people did. Needless to say... I hit a breaking point and things got really heated on a late pick up one night, told her she was terminated! tried to say goodbye to her son, she looks at him and says, "she doesnt want you anymore" ARE YOU KIDDING! so sad, just hope I had an impact on him the short time he was in my home!
ps. saw them about a month later in a walmart, he was standing in the back of the cart, screaming at her, Yelling in her face and hitting her. I quickly turned and walked the other way, dodged that one!
