So angry at my mother I could just explode

[Anonymous]

My mother was supposed to be watching my almost 2 year old today and she did something (admittedly unintentionally) that was EXTRAORDINARILY neglectful. I don't know that there was any physical safety risk involved but I honestly think there was emotional damage, at least temporarily. I am sorry I know the vague posts are annoying but I don't want to get into it in a public forum. Let's just say if it was a babysitter I would have kicked her out of my house in .2 seconds and reported her somewhere.

My mom has been going through a lot and loves my daughter so much, and like I said, it was 100% unintentional, but she was just zero percent remorseful. Zero. If I had been in that situation (which I never would have been), I would have been literally crying apologizing and she's sitting there trying to shift the blame. There is really no point of this but I just had to vent. She is never watching my child again. And I am so angry. Ugh.

I don't understand. She made a mistake and you think there was temporary emotional damage. But it sounds like you have no idea.

Just basing off what you wrote, it sounds like you are majorly overreacting.

Impossible to know what to say without some idea of what happened, but I am sorry you're dealing with this, OP. Sounds really cruddy. I hope you and your DC can regroup and things get better.

OP, it is obvious you are overreacting. You took the time to write out this vague post because you are just SO upset and mad. Yet you can't say what happened because it is a public forum? Yeah, that means you know you are being psycho.

My daughter was sleeping at her house and my mom overslept, and did not set an alarm clock, and did not use a monitor or keep the doors open in her hallway. I found my daughter crying in her crib, hungry and wet, 4 hours after she wakes up every day. So, yeah. Short of physical injury I can't think of much worse. I want to cry just typing this.

You think that caused emotional damage?

So you have no idea if it really was 4 hrs? Maybe she was exhausted from playing with your mom? Maybe she happily played for awhile? Sorry but you are assuming a lot and sound a little crazy.

Obviously her daughter is scarred for life. OP should report her mother to CPS right away (like she would have done with a babysitter). Her mother deserves to be locked up for possibly, maybe leaving her daughter in a crib for 4 hrs screaming, wet, and hungry.

You need to calm the fuck down, damn.

Maybe your mom is trying to tell you that your version of it (as in what you THINK happened) did not in fact happen. But you're too stubborn and overreacting to actually care to listen.

No, this was first thing in the morning. I put her to bed there last night, showed up at noon today to find her crying in the bed with my mom passed out in the other room. She wakes up at clockwork at 8:00 every morning. She was starving and wet and now she is scared to go back in a crib. She was screaming so loudly when my husband tried to put her pajamas on that I could hear her two floors away.

OP, you have no idea what happened. You only THINK you know what is going on. Sounds like your mom was trying to explain what REALLY happened but you're too bull headed to listen. You really do need to calm the fuck down.
