[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 518546, member: 84"] I've had a few "orphans" over the years. Only recall one who was overly polite, but she was that way because she was afraid I wouldn't let her hang at the house if she wasn't. She'd be there from early morning until after dark when I put the kids to bed. She "came to play with the kids" but she always ended up sitting with me most of the time. Child was starved for some motherly attention. Never fed this one, all she craved was the attention. Didn't take long to figure out Mom found a new man and had a new baby and suddenly the little girl was pushed to the background in a huge way. Oh, wait. Nichole's husband was overly polite. And he did the wow you're so lucky your mom cooks..........yadda stuff. And while it made me suspicious, turned out he meant it. His mom thinks frozen food is "cooking". Picked up is cleaning.........never does any in depth cleaning and while her house looks tidy.........if you take a closer look it can make you sick to your stomach in certain areas. Eddie Haskel types send up red flags for me. Probably not all deserve them, but manners not being taught the way they used to........red flag. Usually doesn't take long to find out if they're sincere or not. Oh damn.........remember another one. A boy. Really wasn't any of the kids "friend". Just showed up one day to play. Getting rid of him was like trying to pry a leech off. He didn't know manners, but he tried. He was the type to get the huge puppy eyes at food. And we heard how bad it was at home. Turned out? It really was that bad at home. Mom was mentally handicapped and on SS.......and ran through her check within the first week of each month, same with her foodstamps. Then? Half the time other people would convince her to give them her stuff, so her kids did without. ugh. Once I found that out.....I just served him up a plate of food. We wound up finding him winter clothes and a coat before they moved off the block due to being evicted. [/QUOTE]
