Re: Dilemma, only marginally OT

'doesn't want to take the job... come on liz, you have a shrink... totally
passive agressive and back stabbing... next time she says it i am afraid i
would have to say, ... if i were you i would be concerned about who is
getting close to your mothering duties, if a new man or whatever is making
her do these things no way can you say she is a good mother, i realize
adults have to have a life, but she made the kid its her job to care for it,
not yours, Lee

If by "good-natured" you mean "wussy," I sheepishly concur.

Short of not getting up from your desk to accompany "child" anywhere
a solution I would do....how about vague comments about having been
tested for HiNi or whatever swine flu is, and a big box of tissues on
your
desk, along with analgesic bottle...loud, not-to-be-trifled insistence
that
"child" be kept far away from analgesic bottle by mother by any means
(refuse to aid yourself).

OOOOHHH that is nasty, especially since a couple of my buddies have
actually had--and recovered from--swine flu! It has been an impolite
guest in my hometown of late. But I see how such an excuse can be
effective. Seriously, if there were even the remotest chance I had the
ugly thing, I'd quarantine myself.

Mama NV is taking over your job, think of it that way, and you are the
incumbent worker, nonetheless nonpaid worker.

Mama has said numerous times she is not looking to step on my toes and
wants to work together. I still don't know if she's after my job or if
it's just about the convenience of having a dumping ground for the
kid. She is a good mother and tries to see to it that she takes care
of the child properly. In a fit of altruism I may say she is just
overwhelmed. In a fit of realism I will say she has a new beau and
this may be a big part of the problem. I don't know why she'd want the
job. I'm the equivalent of a Wal-Mart greeter, and it's because I have
prohibitions against the heavy lifting of cages and such.

You are just as smart if not smarter than I am. I bet you can think up
more assertive measures to deal with NV, who has no business bringing
her brat to the shelter anyway.

I'm on the fence with that. She's not fundamentally a bad kid; she has
the occasional smart mouth, but what six-year-old doesn't? It's good
to give a child exposure to, and experience with, community service.
It won't hurt her and will teach her to be humane, how to deal well
with the public at large and contribute to a good work ethic. The
problem is that it is more playtime for her than anything, as she
brings her dolls and rides me to play house with her in the break room
(!) and I don't know why she isn't left with a trusted sitter or
family member.

Blessed be,
Baha
