[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 419115, member: 84"] Yes, Kayla has her glasses and she wears them because Nana told her if she doesn't, she'll find herself in a new home. I'm beginning to see on many issues I'm having to bypass parents and address the kids honestly myself. :sigh: My post got interrupted. lol Nana had no hair growing on her tongue today........things were flying outta my mouth left and right. lol Katie made the mistake to complain yet again how small the apartment was in front of the kids. I'm sorry but for me, nuh uh, kiddo. She's spent the past heaven knows how many years crammed in a motel room with 6 people and [I][B]has the nerve to complain[/B][/I] that an all utility paid.....almost non existent rent apartment is [I][B]small[/B][/I]?? I jumped her the moment it came out of her mouth. I said " Listen here Missy,[B] WE[/B] lived in this exact same floor plan for 4 yrs or more without a single issue with a TON of BIG furniture. I think it's plenty big enough for you after all those years in a dinky motel room." And to prove MY point? I gave HER the grand tour, showing her the huge closet under the stairs and the huge closet in the kitchen......putting her drawer back on her stove she couldn't for the life of her figure out. (omg really??) And taking her outside to show her where her storage "shed" (more closet than shed) was located and explaining the key for the front door works that lock too. Don't tell me I don't know what I'm talking about. Then, in the car......the kids were eying the woods and I could see difficult child minds at work.
