I picked up S from J's mom's house tonight AND she unblocked my phone number! I had a short and civil conversation with her and things seemed better. I haven't spoken to this woman since last February.
I am not using her for long term childcare but it is nice to see that J took my issues seriously.
Oh, what a relief! It's important to at least have communication if she has S, or in an emergent situation. Maybe she finally realized, hey this is the mother of my granddaughter.
Yes @bk she was much better. She ate, got bathed, and changed for bed. Maybe the first day was just an off day? Idk. All I know it was a much smoother transaction this time.
