[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 488688, member: 1514"] Yeah...Billy lived with my mom on and off most of his life and she ruined him. I had him fully from second grade till the first quarter of 7th grade when he was getting bullied so badly that I felt I had no choice but to send him to live back at my mother's. That was the biggest mistake of my life and if I had known that I could have had him switched to a different school in my district I would have but I didnt. She completely pampered him to death. She wouldnt show him how to cook, wash his clothes, clean his room, anything. When he finally came back to me he didnt even know how to operate a washing machine. He couldnt do anything more than heat stuff up in a microwave and that was iffy. She fed him mostly microwaved meals. He doesnt consider me his mother in the truest sense I dont believe. She taught him that he was more of a younger brother to me. In fact, he calls me Janet. Not mom. He will refer to me as his mother but she would never refer to me as his mother...only Janet. I referred to her as Grammy, but she didnt do the same to me. She always told him as an infant and toddler to go see Janet, not go see your mommy so he grew up calling me Janet no matter what I tried. He never would change. I thought that might change when the other kids came along but it never did. They never tried to call me Janet. They did think it was a bit odd though but then our family was odd so nothing was normal anyway. [/QUOTE]
