I wish Red's mom with get her head out of her ass. Seriously.

Red goes there every other weekend.

So, a few weekends ago when she went, her mom (RM) brought her back on Monday morning which is fine. We have no problem with that. Then on Monday night, Red's mom called and asked to talk to Red. I gave the phone to Red and left the room to give her some privacy. Well, she asked Red how school was (yay, involved parent!)....but then proceeded to tell Red that Knight (Red's 3-yr old half-sister) was crying because RM had started singing a song to her and Knight burst out crying because she wanted Red there singing to her!

Okay, what was she hoping to get from that? Was the plan to just guilt Red into wanting to come back again soon? Because really, all she did was make Red cry and feel guilty for something she has no control over. Ruben and I explained that it's not her fault and that missing someone when they aren't there is a reality of life.

Fast forward to this past weekend, Red goes to her mom's house again. According to Red, on Saturday night she stayed up until 3am because her mom was asleep and her mom's boyfriend didn't get home until then and someone has to take care of Knight and Truth (Red's 1.5 yr old half-sister). GAAHHHHH!

Some people just aren't meant to be parents. Red is lucky to have you in her life. :)

Nice.

I'm still wondering why so many people get to wear the title and NEVER do the job. That guilt thing makes me crazy, too.
