Thanks alpha, do love the baby and can tolerate the Dad, but in my experience...bad relationship with the Mom is a no go! I will definitely talk with her soon regarding working things out first, but an for sure ready to let this one go as soon as something else comes along. This Mom wants to argue at every turn, and this is MY BUSINESS da** it! Drives me nuts to "cringe" when a parent comes, cuz I just don't like them.
