The Nerve Of Some People..... - Page 2

@NicksmomESQI agree totally with your decision not to bring the child into your house at this time.

Even so and maybe I watch too much SVU, but I'm concerned that the child could become the victim of abuse than I am about the nerve of a neighbor you already knew had issues. Sounds like mom is about to go over the edge.

Please keep your eyes and ears open even as you distance yourself and protect your own family.

Sounds like a call for help. Everyone is under a great deal of stress and people are reaching breaking points. Hope she found someone who could help, even if it was just taking the time to listen.

Someday, when scientists discover the center of the Universe....some people will be disappointed it is not them.

@San Antonio Gal Funny.My son just told me to block her number too.He called her a whackadoodle.

@NicksmomESQ...You did the right thing. Your neighbor needs professional help if she acted in this demanding way towards you and your other neighbors. Pllease tell your son I LOVE his description of her, "whackadoodle". Made me chuckle. Take care.

I got mad just reading this. I can't believe your neighbor! You came up with good response to that nut. I feel sorry for any child having to spend time with her and her husband. I'm not sure if they are abusive or neglecting the children in their care. They certainly are not providing a nurturing environment. When you are able to talk face to face in the future I would tell her if she ever tried to dump her child off on me or anyone in the neighborhood social services would be on her like white on rice. Furthermore let her know social services is a call away and you have them on speed dial.

I have called social services twice when I had concerns about the welfare of 2 different children. Children and older people need to be protected. I have had family members tell me not to get involved. I told them see something, say something.

@NicksmomESQ the neighbor sounds off the wall.She could be melting down under the stress or depressed.I hope she finds some help to get herself through.I don't think she should expect your help;in this situation when it could endanger your health.

I have a relative who called me at 5 A.M. one day, crying and ranting. Turns out she was on drugs. I no longer have any contact with this person.

I promise to remind myself every day that I am strong, courageous, and resilient.

Definitely a wackjob for sure but unfortunately not unusual in this day and age. I work in a grade school and can't get over how many negligent parents think it's everyone else's job to take care of THEIR kids!

When you choose to become a parent you need to realize that you are committing to a full-time 18 year job. Few people take on that role diligently nowadays.

KingstonsMom · ‎03-09-2010

I have to wonder why on earth she thought this was your responsibility, instead of their own, as parents?

You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

@millieshops She would never abuse her child.Her problem is that she expects everyone to help her raise her child.So many young people feel that way. We have a friend who's daughter is always looking for people to help her care for her kids. She thinks it's a group effort. My friend keeps telling her daughter "you made them,you raise them.I'm just here to spoil them".
