[QUOTE="DDD, post: 542432, member: 35"] Document each telephone call. Document each pick up and drop off. Document if the child is unkempt and take a photo. Document change in eating and sleeping patterns. Listen very closely and make note of comments that might indicate unacceptable behaviors. Observe closely to see if child/clothing is clean and if a car seat is always used. That is the only way I know to prepare for a later court hearing. Of course it is great if you have funds for oustide help but if not a quarter spiral notebook and a Bic pen can make a huge difference in the long run. by the way, the suggestion to offer babysitting time often works well. That is exactly how I ended up protecting my grandsons from God knows what exposure. I was 100% pleasant and friendly when I would say "if you've got plans and don't want to worry about the kids they are welcome to stay at our house so you can have fun..IF you want to". Almost always she choose to party with-o the boys and I was able to exhale. So sorry you're in this situation. Hugs DDD [/QUOTE]
