[QUOTE="Shari, post: 438015, member: 1848"] Oh, you're right, hound. She not only has her pegged, she's mentioned it more than once. Her stepfather's ex plays the same games with his kids as cgfg's mom plays with her, and she's said more than once her mom is just like his ex, and has referenced the money they don't spend on kids, etc. And don't get me wrong, she's not hungry or naked, but come on...people need human interaction, too, and if her mother had her way, cgfg would probably never leave the house in this county. (sometimes they go camping at what they call "the campground" - which is an isolated lot at the lake that cgfg's mom's parents bought that they park the campers on. Still, no people, and no friends. Woohoo.) Luckily, cgfg's grandma buys her clothes and school supplies. Heck, cgfg doesn't even have a swimsuit at her mom's house. She had to take the one I bought her to go swimming at their "campground" the last time they went. But grandma will buy her one. If its up to mom, she doesn't get much, yet mom has tons of clothes. Mom's mom gripes to me about mom's shopping habit! (I asked her to pick up some bras and underwear when she took cgfg school shopping last year, and when I handed her money to pay for it, she said cgfg's own mother wont pay her back, so she's not gonna make us pay her back, either. And then proceeded to complain about her mom spending all her money on pretty bras and underwear and 30 pr of jeans (already knew the 30 pr of jeans - she only does launry once a month)) I'm not against 2nd hand clothes, but cgfg showed up here in a pair of space jam shorts...remember that movie? difficult child 1 watched space jam when he was YOUNG. SO thank goodness, in some respects, for her grandma. Heck, cgfg and I stopped at Goodwill on Wed and she found 2 brand new western shirts for 50 cents each and was thrilled with them. But come on, woman, step up a little... Part of me wants to tell husband to get off his butt and hire a mediator or a lawyer and get the girl involved in life.
