We had to both go into the warehouse this afternoon and our grandson was there. I’m furious that she brings him and makes him sit for hours while she works. It’s a warehouse for goodness sake – he needs to be outside playing with other children and not forced to sit in a warehouse full of heavy equipment and pallets of papers.
When we walked in he came running up to hug PawPaw. I asked him if he was going to wish PawPaw a Happy Birthday. He was surprised that it was PawPaw’s birthday and that he didn’t know about it or have a present to give him. She just walked by and ignored the whole gathering. Great lesson for the grandson in that. We give him loads of presents for his birthday and Christmas. We get nothing.
The school called and asked if we knew where his mother was, as she hadn’t shown up to pick him up after school. School had already been out for over 30 minutes and she lives only 4 blocks away. Honestly don’t know why she has to drive him back and forth anway. The bus ride is 10 minutes or less and he should know most of the kids from the projects where they live.
But we tried to call her cell phone and its disconnected again. So we piled into the car and drove down to the school to pick him up. Just as we pulled into the school parking lot she called from her boyfriend’s phone and said that she had just left the school and no need for us to go. An hour late and she has nothing to do all day and she still can’t get to school to pick him up on time. Of course, she pulled the same crap at least 6 times last year. Unbelievable.
