You Need To Come Get Your Kids

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?
