She is on my FB so all of you INGO members also on my facebook, leave all this HERE on ingo.
Jetty...You're right. I'm smarter than that. The bodies wouldn't have been found. lol.
Well, sure... Sink holes, alligators, sharks...
That happens to 9,829,211 people every morning.THEN, I woke up STILL in Georgia. I HATE that state. lol
Did you consider saying something to the mom?
I realize it would probably be very poorly received. However, sometimes someone has to stand up and tell the truth to people. Maybe if five or six people tell her she is ruining her children, she will eventually wake up. Especially since it sounds like you don't know her very well, so you wouldn't be alienating your BFF. This kind of parenting is extremely neglectful and will generate major problems for these kids down their road.

If it was my car, I would have gave her gas money back and dropped her off somewhere with her 2 spawn of satans.
I'm just so annoyed.
The trip other than that was good but would have been 10 times more relaxing without this crazy family with me.
BTW, Jediah,
What does that have to do with bad parenting?
P.S.
On the flip side of that coin, I've told Callie something completely opposite that drives RachelMarie batty. When she's at Annie's house, she can do whatevvvvver she wants!
(I only said that because I know she's a well-behaved little munchkin.)
100% absolutely nothing! But it appears I have become the "unofficial NWI INGO event announcer" and while I try to see where all the new INGO members are from I know I may miss some that are from NWI. In addition not all new members say where they are from. So for those in the NWI region I "spam" own post so that they know about our active group and the events that we have coming up. All other "INGO" members are welcomed to attend ya just have to drive up here to NWI off course and enjoy the corruption that is NWI. LOL!!

That's because Mom is around to keep her in check...If you are baby sitting and tell her that, you could be opening up a huge can of worms.
Actually...it seems that most kids listen better when Mom is NOT around. Dont'cha think?
Nothing, nothing, drives me crazier about parents then the counting game.This is true ^. Luckily for *me* the only encounter of this magnitude that I ever had with somebody else's children happened on MY TURF.
One kid was the "fling myself to the floor and throw a tantrum" sort.
I told him in front of his dad that we don't act like that in my house, and when he did it again, I picked him up and deposited him outside telling him to ring the bell when he was done. Long story short, the mom and dad argued about it (the dad was thinking it was exactly the right thing to do and wondered why the mom never handled things similarly...but the mom was all "my baaaybeee...my baaaaybeee!!")
They never came back. But I'll tell you this much, that kid is in his 20s now and he's a smartassed know-it-all with a horrendous potty mouth - EXCEPT to me.
Whenever I see him (just a few times a year), he's always respectful and helpful and still talks about being shocked that I'd put him outside, close the door and actually leave. His mom was always a counter. You know the type, "If I get to three, you're in trouble! ONE....stop it. Stop it. TWO. Now, you know you better stop. I mean it. Stop it, I mean it. ONE...."
No wonder it shocked him.
