The new grandbaby has arrived....a girl. Beautiful and healthy thank goodness. She is almost 2 weeks old now.
My daughter has decided to go back to work after about a week after having the baby, which she needs to because she needs the money since she hasn't worked in well over a month or two. She made her rent this month, but did ask me for $200, and said I could use her EBT card as payback. I said keep your EBT card and I'll give you $100 a gift as that's what I would have probably spent on the baby anyway, well I ended up spending another $100 on the baby as she really didn't have any clothes for her.
She said she's working and her schedule is Wed - Sun. from like 1:00 - 8:30pm. I told her I could watch the girls on the weekends for now, just because the baby is still so little. I am pretty sure I have PTSD from the first grandbaby and her not showing up when she says she will. Friday and Saturday went well, with her picking up the baby on time. My other granddaughter was with her dad. Sunday comes around 8:30pm turns into 9:00pm, she text me and says she's leaving her apartment...Shouldn't she be a work.... then 10:00 pm.
I honestly felt like something might have happened to my daughter and I spoke to my husband about it and he said she's being irresponsible, but I was thinking what if something did happen to her. So I text who I think is the baby's dad and he said he would drive by her apartment to see if she's there. He said she was not, so I assumed she was on her way. He then texted again saying he found her at his house. So she finally arrives around 11:10pm saying she ran out of gas..... but the "boy friend" said she was at his house. I guess the lies continue, which has me questioning if she's even working on the weekends.... The "boy friend" did mention that he tries to be there for her, but hard to when someone lies all the time.
This "boy friend" who we think is the baby's dad has been trying to get out of the relationship with my daughter, but I don't think she wants to give up on it, so I think she may be trying to force herself on him. She really needs to move on and I think she could possibly be depressed. You would never really know if you saw her but she only gives you what she wants you to see.
I do worry about her making rent for December and January, but that's not my problem, but I still worry. I'm a silent worrier....I am a firm believer that if I'm going to help you need to help yourself also. I need to see that your really trying. So far I haven't really seen that, at least not yet. My hope is that she will prove all of us wrong.
