Ugh just had to vent!

I have a casual 7yrold dcg that I agreed to take 3-4 days a week during the summer. Easy kid, not a problem. It's the parents that are nuts. Today she was dropped off guzzling a "Kool-Aid Jammer," essentially liquid sugar, and then when I casually asked her what she had for breakfast, she said "nothing, just my Kool-Aid"

AGAIN.

I feel terrible for the poor kid. I have spoken to the parents about this before. They blame it on the other random family they get to watch her when they both work super-early or overnight. They both work shifts, both schedules are all over the place, so it's a combination of me, grandma, aunts, cousins, and friends picking her up and dropping her off.

This morning it was aunt, who seems to be one of the more decent ones. I have no idea if she thought the parents had fed her, or maybe she thought I normally feed her? It feels like I am the only constant in this kid's life. She constantly asks me who is picking her up, if she's staying for dinner (sometimes I agree to keep her till 7), there is no consistency.

And once again, I end up giving her breakfast, because it's not her fault none of them thought to feed her, and she's sitting there watching my kids finishing their breakfast, and I don't want to deal with the inevitable sugar-crash after the damn Kool-Aid (which I promptly confiscated)

So I'm out money for breakfast, I've set a precedent yet again, and after all that, she barely ate her oatmeal! Time for another talk with the parents...
