good for you! don’t mess with my babies! my husband says i’m very calm and almost passive … till someone messes w/my babies – he says then i turn into a completely different woman. yep, he’s right. don’t mess w/my babies.

i hope this parole officer got that message loud and clear and doesn’t forget it.

unfortunately, i learned early on not to tell my girls things. SOOO many people have stood them up and left them hanging, and they’ve cried soooooo many tears over it. a few months ago i thought this one thing would really be a go, and i told my girls. then the person backed out at the last minute. they cried and cried. made me so mad.

At first this made me very angry & sad. It just should never have happened. I’m glad you called the PO back. I’m also so very proud of you that you were calm and pleasant. Hugs to each of you.

I am so glad you kindly took a stand and let him know how that kind of careless oversight can hurt. James is having to learn early on how to be a little trooper, but it will stand him in good stead later on in life. I am so glad Lee did get to finally call.

So sorry to hear this. I know people make mistakes, but, honestly, you’d think they would realize that more than Lee is involved.

I’m glad you took the time to call and leave a message, and I hope that this will not happen again.

All in all, I’m so thankful that calls CAN be made now.

That makes me cry. Life is tough. Glad he apologized. You handled it beautifully with James and the parole officer.

I know it hurt, but at least he didn’t get all mad at you for calling about it. And he did apologize and offer to apologize to James and did recognize that Lee really values this. I’d say that’s overall a good lesson for James–people can mess up, it does hurt folks, but they can sincerely try to make it up. STill, as a Mom, my heart aches for you that day! it couldn’t have been pleasant.
