[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 757769, member: 16024"] You are probably right, Jenna. She could figure out a way to call if she wanted to. She seems to be doing the classic difficult child disappearing act, until she judges that you have forgotten all about what she did, or at least that you will be so glad to finally hear from her that you will not bring it up again. It sounds like your granddaughter doesn’t have a lot of rules and gets away with a lot of things because of her mom’s improper parenting. In one way, she knows it isn’t right, but in another way, she enjoys the freedom it gives her. If you feel that she manipulates you into buying her things, you should probably stop this behavior. It’s not good to let a child develop that trait, or it could become a lifetime coping mechanism. Her mom seems to do this. I feel sick reading about your poor 17 month old granddaughter, Jenna. I’m really sorry to hear that your daughter is not taking proper care of her, and your older granddaughter doesn’t even like her. It’s so sad! Maybe the father can eventually get at least a 50/50 custody agreement, or at least can become more involved. Take care of yourself. [/QUOTE]
