I took Little Guy down to the DSHS offices for his normal Monday visit today, and parents never showed. Quite annoying. Ended up taking Little Guy to the office with me for a two-hour meeting. Luckily my boss is really understanding about everything, and he was fine with it. It’s not like I work a lot anyway – I just work extremely part time from home, but he needed to discuss a big project, so I went in to the office. Little Guy did well – ended up falling asleep halfway through the meeting, so that was good.
I got a call from the GAL later in the afternoon, asking how Little Guy was. I told her about the missed visit that morning. She was surprised. Apparently she had spoken to mom in the morning – mom had called her to ask her opinion about going to the visit, since she was still sick. The two decided it was probably best that she not go, but the GAL was surprised that she hadn’t called to cancel. She said she would have called me if she had known. I told her it was mom’s responsibility, not hers. Sometimes, I really think that the GAL is completely on mom’s side, without considering the best situation for Little Guy. It really frustrates me. I thought she was supposed to be fairly neutral, but it doesn’t feel like she is.
