I interviewed a DCF. It was mom, grandma (who made the appt) and aunt. Aunt said hi and never spoke again, then left before interview was over without saying goodbye.
Red flags.Mom said to me that she is protective. Mom said she interviewed someone who said they take dcks out without telling parents (which I do - if we are bored we get in the car and go to the park, museums, whatever and I told her so but that if she's more comfortable I can send her a text when we do). She also said other provider said she takes kids to Dr appts, grocery store, etc. She clearly isn't ok with it. It is something I've done in the past myself but now I find it to be a total hassle. I told her so.
At the end of interview grandma says where is aunt? Mom says you told her to go out :confused: so I walk them out and aunt waves from the car.
She asked for paperwork to be emailed. I didn't bother.
Grandma called again today asking for paperwork Do I send paperwork? Do I say no?
Do I call dcm and go over, once again, that I do take kids out and want to be sure she is ok with it, etc. And then send paperwork?
Also they need subsidy, which is fine, but they havent even applied. Is it legal for me to say they have to pay in full until its approved? I would think so.
Dad skipped out on them.
