Quote From: grandadjayThey either have their heads in the sand as to the long term affects of hoarding on children or they are like most government workers with top heavy bueracracy that dictates inefficiency. Inefficiency often turns to not caring and trying to lighten ones work load.
The job of protecting children should be given to police and not a division of social services who become jaded with dealing with the indignant.
Sunny, I'd love to talk to you. It sounds like we both care about our grandkids.
Sure, anytime. Here or email me.
My grandson called tonight all upset. "Gram! Mom just spent over 200.00 on jewlery but wouldn't buy me a 15.00 watch that I NEED!" I told him to buy his own watch with the money he earns from me every month. I get paid on the 3rd so it should still be on sale. I told him it will mean more to him if he buys it himself. I also said mom does not HAVE to buy him things like that even if she IS spending on herself.
Saturday she spent 508.00 on a television. I'm sure her income tax is gone (or near gone) by now.
This drives me insane! I've read the books and gone on the websites to learn everything I can about this disorder. I was horrified to learn there is actually an abnormality in their brains! Plus the deficits in their decision making. They are not lazy or stupid or anything else one would think....this is a SICKNESS! But I can't let my grandson live in that filthy mess! She risks loosing her job if the AF finds out! That's one of the reasons she won't go to a therapist!
Go on the web...there are thousands of hoarders! It's sick and SAD!
Sunny
