I know a mother who, me personally don’t think she realizes what she is doing to her 2 and a half yr. old child. Everytime she feeds him in his high chair, she doesn’t watch him to make sure everything is ok. Once the child is done eating she never sweeps up the food off the floor right away. sometimes takes her days to do it. She is to busy online on the internet fooling around rather then giving her son a bath everyday.
I use to live with this girl and everytime i was either at work or shopping, or by my mother’s house, and i returned to my home it was like a tornado hit it. I would walk in and the kid would be need to be changed, and she would just be drinking her gin and either on the phone or on the internet, like not even paying attention to her son. Another thing that bugged me was that everytime she took a shower, the kid would rome through the whole house getting into everything. DROVE ME CRAZY.
Yes she has a big alcohol problem that she won’t admit too. Then when she thinks things are getting tough, she tends to move out and find someone else to live with. I don’t know how many times i came home and the kid took all his clothes off and either did number 1 or 2 in his crib. Digusted the hell out of me. She didn’t wash anybody’s clothes, especially her own childs. She just kept putting dirty clothes and for the night anything she could find. Grant it we didn’t have a short run on clothes either. She was just to lazy to do anything. By anything i mean dirty dishes in the sink for days, dirty laundry laying in our room, the childs room, among other places, dirty sheets, food and empty bottles,cans,bags on the floor and carpet, toys just scattered every where around the house, and sometimes even the garbage tipped over in the kitchen.
This is what i use to have to clean up everytime after coming home from work after 8pm with dinner not even cooked for me. Oh no way i use to have to cook for all 3 of us sometimes. Makes me wonder now after leaving her if she ever fed her son like she was suppose to. She is way behind on taking her child to the doctor for his check ups. I’ve only known once when i paid for the childs doctor appointment, by asking her mother for the money. Yes even her mother wouldn’t borrow her own daughter a dime. Not for food, rent, her son, nothing. I either shelled out the money for food and diapers, bills, rent or my family helped us out alot. Thank God for caring families when you need them.
I know she is a straight doper, because i use to live with her for almost 2 yrs. and she has been reading threads sometimes half of the day. So maybe after she reads this, she will lay off the booze and realize what she is doing to her son. If she keeps this up, moving state to state guy after guy, the kid will never know who his father is. I live in a different state now and i don’t think i can do anything to get help for this child. What i’m asking you dopers is what can be done , so that this child has a normal life. The kid will be 3 in July and can’t even say one word yet. I know me and her broke up, but there’s not a day that i don’t think about her son. That’s the real tough part about all of this.
