ok, so mean mamma dislikes being portrayed as mean unfairly. last night, cayle ate supper with the neighbors, as they were going to take her to swim practice with their daughter, and i was supposed to pick them both up and bring them home afterwards. plans changed when i realized that i would have to go into town anyway (to drop off stephan), so i offered to take them to practice and the neighbor would pick them up. on the way to town, cayle told stephan about all she had eaten for supper- mac and cheese, green beans, apples, carrots, etc- later that evening, when ernst got home from biking, he asked cayle what she had eaten for supper. she told him that i had refused to feed her supper. thankfully stephan reminded her that she had already eaten supper with the neighbors, and that it was mean to lie to try to get a second meal. cayle contended that she had only had a little snack........that girl would eat 24/7 if allowed to do so
