It has been quite a while since I have been on here as me. I don't know where my daughter in law is. She should have been here about 5pm. She has been getting over time so I wasn't too worried until about 7:30. I called her, texted her, face booked her...nothing. I went to her work and her car was there. It was the only car there.
I became super worried then. I tried to reach out to her parents. Finally got ahold of them but they don't know where she is either. Called my son at work. he said she might be at a meeting and thought that he had told us that she would be late. It is 10:15 pm right now and no word from her. I am really worried and needed to vent. A prayer wouldn't hurt.

Ok, she showed up at her Mom's just a while ago thinking she had the baby. Nope and her phone died too so she couldn't get any of my messages. She is not a demonstrative person but I said I am giving you a hug anyway because I was so worried. My son showed up right after she left. I think he is going to be in trouble because of this miscommunication. I am just happy everyone is fine. I am exhausted and am heading to bed. good night everyone.

Kat - I'm glad she was alright. But that is absolutely terrible. She didn't let you know and YOU had her baby? I can't even imagine! And she forgot who had the baby? That is not normal behaviour!
Long before cel,phones - we used landlines. If I was going to be even 10 min late to pick up my child - I let the sitter know.
Sorry to be harsh but that is extremely irresponsible. Young mom or not - she needs to be set straight.
5 hours late? You must have been so worried. I agree with Barb, she could have picked up a landline phone and let you know. Who dropped off they baby with you? I hope not her! Then she forgot where she dropped of her kid!
maybe kindly tell her the next time, she needs to find a way to make a call if she is going to be so late. And you should really have an alternate number if her phone isn't charged, god forbid there was an emergency with the child.
She had told my son she had the credit union meeting that night and that her parents should have the baby. I guess my son got the night wrong and brought her to me but thought she would be over to get the baby about 5. With her phone battery dead she got none of my worried messages.
What was the most disturbing to me was that her patents didn't appear worried at all. Yes miscommunications happen and I had even bought her a little free standing charger for X-mas. I use mine all the time. Just glad everyone was safe but not really getting why she was so mad. Honestly, if anyone should be mad it was me and I was just worried. Baby was awesome the whole time. (It really helps that she is talking more).

Wow - that all sounded like a real pickle....and concerning to be so late and so vague about who has your child too. I'm glad things turned out okay in the end though.

These 70 hour weeks are killing me! It is my own choice because somewhere along the line I made a financial faux pas and need to fix it with some extra money being made.
Today I kid you not boss man actually asked me to change the angle of a staple a smidge, asked about these referral cards we had, told him I gave them all we had and then he asked If I was lying!! When this little cr@p gets to me so much, really it is time to walk. I am not a child and am really aggravated by him treating me as if I am. I hold my tongue because nay standing up for myself is seen as being argumentative. I am at the point of wondering where kat is because she is hiding so well. Yikes!! Deep breaths.

Jeez, Kat, is your boss a complete a*hole? He sounds like the kindergarten bully.
It looks like you've learned when and where to pick your battles. The one I've really learned this past year is to avoid battles that are lost before they begin. There are some situations where I have a snowball's chance in hell of getting someone to consider my POV. Some people really don't want to learn new things or grow. Your boss sounds like one of those people.
What's up with you and the kiddos lately?
Hugs, Betsey
