W is being investigated by social services. Aparently, someone filed a complaint that DDs are left alone at night (true, W works overnight) and that there's no food in the apt (W claims it's not true, but there hasn't been every time I've visited). SS doesn't know the whole story.

W goes out most weekends, leaving them alone. When someone does babysit, it's generally her friend, a total pothead. Bedbugs. I had to goad W into taking D13 to the doctor about her back. She's taking some medical steps that I personally don't agree with (and neither did she up until recently, making me wonder if she's gone completely off her rocker). She threatened to cut off all contact IN FRONT OF D13. DDs have missed a lot of school due to illnesses that W has confessed are not serious and that she just doesn't want to fight w/ the girls about it.

I could go on and on.

I'm thinking of talking to SS and explaining my (fairly biased) perspective of W's parenting.
