Nothing like... - update on the morning

I'll start from the beginning. (This may get long.)

Yesterday on my way home my cell phone rang. I just hit the answer button without looking to see how it was that called. Well it was Brandon's mom. (Was my inital reaction followed by WTF?) Anyway, she started telling me how she is having problems with her daughter. (Umm what does this have to do with me?) Well everything she is telling me is typical 13 year old behavior. I said as much. She went on to say how I just didn't understand. She then went on to tell me how it would be great if I could come to her house and spend time with her daughter. Maybe we could pal around and maybe her daughter would open up to me. (Here is where the WTF came into play.) I told her how busy I was and was flattered she felt I could be benifical in the help with her daughter. I then went on to tell her how I felt that maybe her and her daughter would benefit from counseling. Maybe she could check with the A center and get set up through there. Maybe they could do individual counseling and when they felt they were ready they could do group. (Sounded pretty reasonable to me.) She BLEW UP! I don't mean a little I mean a lot. She went on a rant about how she doesn't have time for that BS. (In the back of my mind I'm thinking, this is why you and your daughter don't have a very good relationship. How can you suggest I spend time with your daughter?)

Well our closing was, you'll get yours.

TODAY:

We leave to go to the Sheriff's Office. I ask my Lt what is going on and he told me he didn't have a clue. Well I guess last night M went to work and told her Lt how she had called the Sheriff's Office for help yesterday and I blew her off because I was so spiteful. Well her Lt I guess is friends with my Sheriff and called him at home last night and told him all this BS.

Well after my Sheriff got done explaining everything I got to say my piece and told him exactly what happened. I told him she never called the SO she had called my personal cell phone on my way home. After all was said and done we were good to go.

I thought we were done and he said he had one more thing. What now, right? He said he had recieved a letter from an attorney in Orlando I had helped. He wanted to personally thank me for my hard work and dedication and for being so helpful .

So started out with a butt chewing then got an attaboy.

I had to write up everything that was said for my Lt to pass on to her Lt. She works in the next county over. I swear this woman never quits.

luvbug00 replied: so she wanted to hand off her kid to you?? ok as nice a compliment that is I agree with your answer 100% . the fact she doesn't care enough about her kid to enter counseling mind boggles me. there is ALWAYS enoguh time for my daughter and i don't get how she can think otherwise.

Boo&BugsMom replied: That's screwed up!

sparkys2boys replied: omg. you had a rough day girl. This women sounds very spiteful and hurtful to say the least. I'm glad that it worked out for you.

CantWait replied: And exactly wtf does this has to do with work. She's got a lot of balls.

hoosier momma replied: She might need a little more than counseling. And that is a classic case of someone using their job to try to benefit themselves. I see it here all the time. I also work in law enforcement.

Hillbilly Housewife replied: lol... ok, maybe it wold have worked had she called your work and not your PERSONAL cell phone... some people. What nerve!

gr33n3y3z replied: ok why would she blab your convo with your boss I hate ppl. that do that
what did she think you were gonna get in trouble?
Next time she calls you just say and hang up LOL

punkeemunkee'smom replied: What a !!! I am sorry,Holley! I love that she wants you to come 'hang out' with her daughter-and somehow she got other people to agree that it is your responsbility I would have said 'When I married Brandon's dad-I knew I was going to have the shared responsibility of one of your children. That does not however absolve you of your responsibility to care for any of them....WTH do people get off! I think I would have lost my mind if I had been called into the boss's office to explain a personal situation! What did he think? He has a right to use work and pressure there to commpel you to do her job as a mother? You are alot calmer than me! I am sorry you had to deal with such a major load of BS!

holley79 replied: I think there was a misunderstanding. She didn't tell what our actual conversation was. She told them she called the Sheriff's Office because she was having a huge problem at home and needed a deputy. She said she got me and I "took her information" then blew her off. She didn't tell them what the actual conversation was. I had to tell them what the actual situation was about.

punkeemunkee'smom replied:
oh WOW!!! That is even worse on her part! OMG! So she accused you of not taking a 'police report' seriously or passing it on to the correct channels?!? She NEEDS help!!! (I am talking the kind with a white jacket and trank shots! ) I hope they send an officer over there now....is she a dispatcher too or a cop? Kinda scary if she carries a weapon!

holley79 replied:
No she is a corrections officer though that is allowed to "pack heat". She seriously needs help. Thank goodness I have a strong support system here at work. She could have gotten me in some very serious trouble and I could have lost my certs and everything.

Mommy2Isabella replied: sorry you had to go through that. Thats why I am glad to work with myself and the Dr. ... ... that stinks but Im glad you guys got everyting straightened out!
