[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 468869, member: 84"] This is what I don't know and would like to find out, and don't trust Katie to ask or even hint at. And I want to see if they'll give him a 1:1 aide. Which is why I want to be at that meeting. Generally, she does include me in the meetings......so I can explain what they're saying to her. I missed Alex's for this year because I had something going on with mother in law at the time at the end of the school year last year. I ask all the questions and make the suggestions. Katie just sits there making excuses and doing that whiny voice that makes me want to slap her. Susie, we all know how I feel about M and why. You make good point about the working. Since he's been their primary caregiver since birth, it very well may be true and I should probably keep that in mind when dealing with the man. Might be he goes out and attempts to keep a job and things go to hades at home and he feels he has to quit for the welfare of the kids. I do know that during this blow up between Nichole and Katie, evidently Nichole majorly called katie out on all the past physical abuse of the kids that she witnessed when she was 11-13. (I had no clue she'd done so, I won't because I know I won't be able to get near the grands if I bring it up) Nichole also told Katie she believes that all this stuff is katies fault, that she knows better. At least M has the excuse of his disaster of a background and the fact that he has a very low IQ. That is why this rift between them is still going strong, Nichole hit way too close to home. Call me crazy, but I do have my moments when I seriously wonder if M is as much a victim in all this as the kids are and that Katie is the master manipulator with M doing most of her dirty work and getting all the blame for everything so she can still appear clueless and innocent. I'm [B]not [/B]saying the man is guilt free by a long shot. But I bet a neuropsychologist would have a field day with the man. Honestly all the kids do the desperate love you Nana stuff, Alex less of course due to the autism but even he still does it. And it certainly isn't because I shower them with things either, because I can't and don't. Kayla is begging to come and help me decorate for the Halloween party so she can spend time with me. I think I may let her. It would be a fun thing to do together. I'd like to find something I could do with Evan without him quickly becoming bored so I can spend some time with him too.
