“My daughter never calls.”
“When we do talk, my daughter never tells me what’s going on.”
“My daughter’s getting married, and I feel like I barely know this person. They keep me at arm’s length.”
“I don’t know much about her job—she doesn’t tell me anything.”
“She doesn’t want me to visit right after the baby’s born. She wants me to wait to visit until ‘they’re ready for guests.’”
This is what happens when parents don’t listen to their kids, and don’t give their kids due consideration. If you don’t have a listening ear now, you won’t be trusted later.
This is your future. This is your warning.
I don’t think that’s the worst outcome.
That will be when OP turns on the news in a few years to see this teacher has been caught abusing kids and she gets to think of all the children and parents who hate her for not believing her own kid and reporting in a timely way.
