So most of you already know how lazy and irresponsible SD22 is. So she and her son have been living in their own place since the end of July. Lately we've also been watching the grandson less, as we told her we will NOT watch him on Tuesday and Saturday nights so we can have a break. In the past few 3 weeks we've only watched him about 2-3 nights a week which is odd, but hey who's complaining.

For the past month I had a sneaking suspicion that she wasn't really working all of those nights she would drop him off at our place. One time DW dropped him off in the morning and SD22 had a club stamp on her wrist. Then a few weeks ago two of her sisters said that she hasn't really been working but a few nights in the past 2 months at all. Normally you can't believe what one SD says, but since both pretty much had the same story, and SD22 was always asking us for money it made sense. Last month we paid SD22's power bill because as DW put it..."I'm not going to let my grandson go without lights and heat." *rolling eyes*

So fast forward to Wednesday. DW sends me a text asking if I can go straight home from work. SD22 let her power get cut off, and she needed to bring over some food to put in our fridge. Oh and of course she is also getting evicted. She KNOWS she cannot move back in with us, that's not even an option. SD22 admitted to not having worked much in the past few months, and she also admitted to popping pills, along with her regular weed habit. SD22 says she needs about 2 months to "get her stuff together" which basically means she wants us to raise GS3 during that time.

DW and I had both agreed that there should be no more "back and forth" with the grandson and if she wants us to have him, she just needs to sign over custody. Well unfortunately its not that easy because the kids dad is in jail on a felony, and SD22 has to go through the legal process to have his parental rights terminated. THEN she could go through the court system to give us custody. That could take forever because I'm sure the dad would contest it. So we are basically stuck. If we don't keep him, she will just pawn him off to her friends who live about 2 hours away. We have allowed her to come over to our house during the day to take care of him, but it concerns me that the only places she picks to crash is a place where she can't take her son. I just don't get it because I have seen mothers sleep in the car with their kids rather than be separated from them. I'm also concerned that if we do keep him, then it just makes it that much easier for her to be irresponsible and have no incentive to get her shit together.

I'm so damn tired of having to sacrifice for my step-grandson when his own mother isn't sacrificing shit. She works as a stripper so she could have EASILY gotten the money for rent and bills if she actually worked. Sick of her selfish ass always throwing my life for a loop.....
