Dawn:

Oh, man, does she know how to lay it on thick, eh?

That would make me mad too. Sounds like she just does

not want the responsibility of taking care of her

children, and that is so sad for those kids. That her

job is more important to her than her own children is

very clear. Yes, sometimes moms have to work too, but

when I did, I made sure I took my kids to school, and

then picked them up after school to take them home

with me. She has no idea how much this would mean to

her kids, that she took some interest in them and

their activities, and spent more time with them one on

one. How sad. Maybe some sense can be knocked into

her by your refusing the babysitting job, and I hope

that is the case. If she were to cut back on her work

hours and spend more time with her kids, those kids

would not have to be wild monkeys to get attention! Be

strong!!
