Lying Snake

post #1 of 14
Thread Starter 
Christian talks to his grandmother(on his moms side) on the phone every Sunday. His mother hardly ever calls. He has talked to her twice I think in the last year. Well today his grandmother tells him that his mom has tried to call twice and we didn't answer. She is a LIAR! We have caller ID, and it would show if she called, and there is nothing. I think the grandmother is trying to make it look like we are keeping him from her calls.

I could say more but Kiera just started crying, so I gotta run.

Honey I am not in your situation, but my dad tried pulling the same calling sh*t on me and I didn't let him get away with it. Did you show Christian that Caller ID?

Are you still listening in or did he tell you.

I am sorry you have deal with that kind of immaturity.

Why do people think it is a good thing to play games with children? Maybe she is just trying to make up for the mom NOT calling by saying she tried... I don't know. But she needs to stop messing with his head. Poor kid!

We showed him the caller ID. He believes us so I am not worried about that. One thing we have always done with Christian is be truthful, and that something his mother doesn't do. Thankfully he knows that. I just think it's sick to play games with little kids.

He told us she said it. He sits in the same room with us when she calls because we don't trust her.

Well I'm glad he believes you .. we went through the same thing with Mike's daughter for the longest time (well, except reverse - but still, the ex was lying). Mike would call, there'd be no answer and nobody would return his calls. But then on the rare occasion he actually got to talk to his daughter, she'd want to know why he never called. The ex even had the nerve once to write Mike this long letter about why he's such a sorry dad and it included the fact that he'd go months without talking to his daughter. So I highlighted about 2 years worth of phone bills showing all the attempts he'd made to call. That put an end to that, although his daughter was too young to understand it.

But I really think it's a shame when the child is used as a pawn because somebody is feeling guilty. I'm so glad Christian is with you guys now and sees what family is really about. I think I'd have to tell the grandmother that if she doesn't stop with the lies that she won't be allowed to speak to him anymore!

that is so not right andthe only one that suffers out of those actions are the kids I am glad that he believes you guys and understands (well ok to a point).

That is so rotten of her to say that to him. She should NOT be making excuses for her daughter but rather tell her she is a crappy mother!

I'm glad that Christian believes you though!

I'm glad he believes you. Did you guys get custody of him?? Or have you always had custody? I'm sorry she's playing those games. When we call my SS he's never home.....supposedly. So dh never gets to talk to him. It's a crock I tell ya!!!

It is good that Christian is now with you guys and learning what it's like to be in a real family. It's also good that he trusts and believes you guys. It's sad that his own grandmother would say things she knows are untrue to him, but hopefully it's like Jennifer said and she's just trying to cover for her daughter rather than trying to make you guys look bad. Maybe Mike should talk to her the next time she calls.

We got custody of him last summer Julie. His mom and step dad were abusing him.

Wow, that just makes me want to cry. Poor kid. I'm glad he's got a loving family now to be apart of. And it's sad that now he's realizing how his Mom really is. I'm glad he is w/ you guys now. Her Mom needs to stay out of it. Is she decent when she calls to talk w/ him or is she just as bad as the BM??

She only calls to pump him for information. Christian is on to her to her though and he doesn't tell her anything as far as I know. She is always trying to find out how many kids we have, and wants pictures. They still have no idea about Kiera, lol. I left it up to Christian if he wanted to tell them. She talks about coming to visit Christian and our kids. Whatever, she is not allowed near any of my kids. She can visit Christian, but hell will freeze over before I let her or her abusive daughter anywhere near my children.

Tara I know that you would never keep anything like that from any of the kids. I am so glad Christian believes you and you are right it is sick to play with minds of children. Hurts them more in the long run.
