She's apparently coming over later, so no relaxing evening for us!xxx<br />Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11121009474832459371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429407762971880994.post-50990038876245194242013-08-22T13:47:14.276+01:002013-08-22T13:47:14.276+01:00Thank you Shirley xxxThank you Shirley xxxMandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11121009474832459371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429407762971880994.post-44749389812818798962013-08-22T12:17:37.659+01:002013-08-22T12:17:37.659+01:00Hi Mandy,

Your husband and yourself are doing a wonderful job in caring for Daisy. It must be so hard and heartbreaking at times with your daughter.

These grand children we have are such a joy and though you have serious responsibilities for Daisy she is very fortunate to having such caring grandparents as her main carers Have a wonderful day xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12492415809417664328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429407762971880994.post-32716944932166669992013-08-22T08:35:23.725+01:002013-08-22T08:35:23.725+01:00The lack of official responsibility for Daisy is f...The lack of official responsibility for Daisy is frustrating for us but we always wanted Daisy to live with her mummy. This is a long way off because she cannot provide anything other than love for her at the moment. Her living conditions are inadequate and I can't see how that will change unless she knuckles down and gets a job and saves up. She is useless and selfish with money so she couldn't provide financial stability for Daisy either (unless she works). To be honest, she doesn't know how to care for her now. Daisy is very different now to the little baby she left behind at Christmas. She would need a lot of support from us (which we have offered) until we think she's ready, gradually moving her in. Even then, we would expect to share her care. I am prepared to look after her while mummy works and have Daisy come to stay too. This is all in the distant future until she can stop putting herself first.<br /><br />It saddens me that she has lost the chance of those memories, all we could do was take loads of photos. Hopefully she will see the error of her ways sooner rather than later.<br /><br />We are taking Daisy to 'Adam's Farm' on Sunday. He's the one off Countryfile and it's in the Cotswolds, not too far from us. She LOVES all farm animals, especially chickens and ducks. A chance to get away from it all! The following Sunday is her 1st birthday!!!<br /><br />Glad the bathroom situation is sorted!Have a great time in Scarborough xxxMandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11121009474832459371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429407762971880994.post-80226206808889879772013-08-22T08:10:16.396+01:002013-08-22T08:10:16.396+01:00Hi Sylvia, it's a slow process isn't it?! ...Hi Sylvia, it's a slow process isn't it?! It must be a nightmare for a non-hoarder to look at stuff all the time. What one person thinks is useful or needed may be different from another person. I am changing because it is much easier to clean a room without stuff.<br /><br />Mandy xMandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11121009474832459371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429407762971880994.post-58166302791296231882013-08-21T17:01:50.380+01:002013-08-21T17:01:50.380+01:00Hi Mandy,

And also that it is causing Daisy distress as well, as we all know that children, even babies do sense atmospheres and tensions around them. I do wish she would grow up and realise what she is doing to her poor daughter.<br />Luckily she has to fantastic grandparents that are there to comfort her and make her feel safe and secure.<br />I am almost certain that even though your daughter has rights as her birth mother the authorities (if it ever came to it) would be under no illusion as to how your daughters situation and behaviour is no environment to bring up a child and that you would have no problem in gaining some type of residence order for Daisy until your daughter was actually capable of thinking of someone else and not just herself.<br />It does not appear that it will happen anytime soon so I think it is safe to say that Daisy is probably going to be with you for the foreseeable, which is as it should be as she is with the best people she could ever ask to be with.<br />Do not let your daughters selfish, childish behaviour upset your household too much, and focus on the lovely sweet moments with Daisy that you will be able to cherish forever whereas her mother will never have this precious time again and is missing out on so much.<br /><br />My housework and meal plans etc have completely gone out of the window lately as the bathroom was only finished yesterday after everything going wrong that possibly could.<br />It is such a relief to have things back to normal and hopefully I can get back on track the week after next when I get back from our week away in Scarborough (26th - 30th Aug).<br />Take care, jane xxjanenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429407762971880994.post-68081469030212951642013-08-21T10:41:24.678+01:002013-08-21T10:41:24.678+01:00Love to hear what you are doing.
