QueenBee, I didn't mean to make you feel bad with my post, I was just offering ideas as to what may be going on with the Mom & her attitude. Actually, your reaction would probably be the same reaction that any of us would have had if we were in your shoes. Where you are closer to the situation and have more info, all we were going on was what was in the post.

I'm certainly with you on the why do people have kids if they aren't going to take care of them thing. It amazes me to see how some people continually sluff their kids off on anybody and everybody that will take them for a while.

Lynn, thanks for the smiley help, but it isn't working for me. They don't show up on this page at all for me. Also I keep getting messages "you aren't allowed to post on this node". ?? Trying again.
