She should have put that wacko daughter out years ago, and then just maybe there wouldn't be 8 more kids to worry about now.
That's rather harsh, Ellie. Yes, the grandmother was lacking in good judgment but it's difficult to put your child out, especially when your grandchildren would go w/her. She probably thought that at least she could supervise their upbringing somewhat. I don't know the story of the grandparents. Perhaps they were/are just as impulsive and reckless as their daughter but unless and until I do know more, I'm withholding an opinion because at present, I feel compassion for them. I'm always cautious about commenting on what others deserve because I feel that opens the way for the same to happen to me. I'm sure it will all come out soon enough, the grandparents' story, too.
