When my middle son was born, my mom worshipped this kid. I left his father shortly after and being single and working, I turned to my mom for help, mostly babysitting. One day, I left my son with her so I could go to work. Apparently, she ran out of cigarettes (she wasn't supposed to smoke indoors when she had him) and flipped out. She knocked him down and he smacked his face on a chair. When I got there after work, he was curled up in bed, shaking and crying. I let her have it and that was it...I never left my boys with her again. Anyway, this was the child she ADORED.
Fast forward 11 years. My niece has fallen into the habit of letting her 6 year old daughter spend a great deal of time with my mother, who has since been diagnosed as being bi-polar. My niece is going through a divorce and Kayli has been staying with mom at night so she can get her up for school. The whys of that situation is another story. So, my niece was at my sisters house visiting.....
