Need advice… Ok, my dd's friend's mom and grandma will be out of town this weekend. Her mom left last night, and her grandma left this morning. Her gma dropped her off at my house at 7:30 a.m. Her mom never called me about anything this weekend. I heard through the girl that they will be out of town and that she either had to stay w/a friend or her aunt. I told her she could stay w/us. So yesterday, I called her mom's cell number to touch base with her. My message went something like this, "I just wanted to touch base with you about this weekend. Sarah mentioned that you and her grandma were going out of town and that she wants to stay with us. I just wanted to find out if I will be able to reach you on your cell phone in case of an emergency or if there's another number I would need to call. Sarah probably mentioned to you that we're going to the theme park on Saturday. It's my husband's company picnic, so it's free to get in, and they're providing free lunch and drinks all day. Please call me back at work xxx-xxxx or on my cell xxx-xxxx. I'll talk to you later, thanks!" She never called me back, and her mom and grandma both are gone! While I’m sure nothing will happen, you never know. Sarah could get hurt at the amusement park, or maybe something could even happen in my family that we need to have her leave. Know what I mean? Now, am I totally overreacting about this? I told my daughter that if I don't hear from her mom today, that Sarah will have to stay somewhere else this weekend, because I need parent communication. Am I being too mean? What do you all think I should do? This girl has stayed w/us practically all summer (all but two nights!), so I really feel like she's being abandoned. She is court-ordered to live w/her grandparents (they're having family problems right now), but she's w/her mom more often. Her mom has only talked to me twice all summer, when I went to her for something. I've only seen/talked to her grandma once. I'm getting a big concerned now. They girls are both 13 yrs old. Thanks!
