Mom is (I'm guessing) late twenties? She's living with her boyfriend or her boyfriend's family.. I met them but I wasn't sure whose house it was. I have the baby 5 or 6 days a week. She's really a bright kid, she's learning sign language really quickly, and she does well with my animals, etc etc. I've tried communicating with her mom in a few ways.. directly, beating around the bush, hinting, etc and nothing seems to work. The baby was given to me sick one day without my being told. I later found some OTC medicine in her diaper bag, but Mom never told me when she last gave it or how much to give. She told me today (kid's almost over whatever it was) that she didn't even realize her kid was sick until she was almost over it. I felt like saying "Duh. I kept telling you she was coughing and sneezing, seeming like she didn't feel well" but I kept my mouth shut. I feel bad saying this, but I think that some of this might be caused by the fact that the baby was unplanned. I know that Mom loves her kid and wants the best for her, but I can't help wondering sometimes why communicating with me about the baby seems like something she just doesn't want or isn't comfortable with..
