[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 698511, member: 4152"] Ya know, I did ask her. I think I said simply "Why do you want to know this information?" And she mumbled something like "I just want to know and write it down." It was obvious to me from the beginning she was not being forthright. She hasn't been as forthright as myself (in general) re: certain things about her child. For example, I am aware of drug usage and she has never mentioned it. It is, largely, common knowledge in the neighborhood. But, since she hasn't mentioned it, I don't either. The thing is, this particular encounter was sooo different from others, it left me cold. She was truly troubled. It, in the past, has been a time to relax and let down our hair a bit. This time, she was stiff, odd, "off" and playing it close to the vest. I did ask her but I suppose I could have been much more specific like "You are clearly very concerned about this adult woman friend of my daughter's and I sense that you are more than typically concerned here." But, that just seemed overboard. When I asked her simply why she wanted to know the extra info (last name, exact address...WTH?) she was NOT forthcoming. Bad enough we have to second guess our kids, but now I'm second guessing this woman. I was withholding some info. about her child, maybe she was withholding some info. about mine????? What to do???? Darn it. [/QUOTE]
