Oh she always maintained that her "parenting" was first class! Laughable now, but when we were desperately concerned about SD's welfare when she was living with her it was tortuous. Nothing was ever her fault, she had no sense of danger (according to her, leaving your 5 year old caring for her 1 year old sibling at home alone was perfectly acceptable & when my husband had a go at her about it she accused him of "picking" on her & being over-protective) and accused me of acquiring headlice to deliberately plant in SD's hair so we could accuse her of not dealing with them!!! Poor SD was bullied at school because the lice were so prolific, & was called "nit girl". That used to make me cry, I couldn't bear it, and we even bought treatments for her which AM would throw away!! But, of course, having a PlayStation made it all okay ......
