A couple of weeks ago Guy ran into one of his distant cousins who was in our neighborhood visiting his ex and their children.As it turned out, his children went to school with our children and sometimes played with each other, never knowing they were related.Cute story right? Wrong.
My son, loving the fact that he had cousins in the neighborhood, went over to visit them about three times and then they started coming over to visit him.This was all fine and good until I sensed their mother wanted to start “dropping them off” over here whenever she felt like it.
Last week she popped over and “dropped them off” for most of the day.A few days later she “dropped them off” again to go get her hair done.Then today I hear a knock at my door and the oldest child is there telling me her mommy wants to know if it’s okay for them to stay here until seven o’clock? My answer was hell no ((Okay, you know I didn’t say it quite like that to a child)) and I told her to take her sister and go home.They are still here.
Now don’t get me wrong, the problem is not these two beautiful young girls ((Ages 9 and 5)) but rather a mother who thinks she now has a built in and FREE babysitter living around the corner from her.Not only that, but this woman does not know me and she doesn’t know Guy.She sends her two young daughters over to a house with 2 adult males ((Ages 38 and 15)) and thinks nothing of it.This in my opinion is how so many young Black girls end up being molested.I would never do this with any of my children, much less my daughter, yet this women does this very thing with both her daughters.
I haven’t decided excatly what I will do about the situation.I can be a mentor and positive influence of these children, or I can kick’em to the curb.
Why is God always testing me like this?

So she dropped them off once to go get her hair done, what was her excuse the other two times?

I dunno.I get the feeling she is just relaxing at home by herself or with whomever this man is I see her with her.One of the little girls told the other not to call home because “Mommy said not to.” I thought that was pretty odd.Who sends their children off to someone else’s house and then tells them not to call home?

That’s messed up you should sit down in have a little conversation with her maybe you can talk to her about her behavior as well.I mean just because someone is family does not make them safe and she just left her kids at your house like she’s been knowing you and your people forever.That’s not to say that you would harm her kids but how does she know that,I totally agree that’s how little girls get molesated and there mother needs her butt whipped.If she drops them off at your house who knows how many other times she’s done this.God is always testing us lol but there’s always a lesson behind every test :).I’m curious did she come in pick up the kids yet?
