I've tried, but I've never been able to get through to a human.
Those awful computer message machines. Next course of action is then to pay a in person visit to the school board.

Unfortunately, that's something I can't do. I don't live in the same state.
I guess then unless you can locate someone who Knows the family's habits in that state. Otherwise you might be out of luck.

It just occurred to me-I don't know if they actually went through the process of taking her out of school. If they didn't, she's truant.

While I'm not 100% opposed to unschooling for younger kids, they definitely don't sound like the right kind of family for it :/. It's not illegal in most states and unfortunately there are few requirements, Freedumb and all.

But on the bright side, if she's on the internet all day she'll probably be exposed to gender ideas different from her mom's, so that's a plus.

If she's truant, the school will be aware. Idk if covid changed things, but I know funds are allocated for a certain number of students being in school, so when money is involved, they follow up.

My darling daughter woke up at 6:30 today and I'm not here for it, especially since I was dumb and stayed up too late last night. It's clearly a three cups of coffee and spend all morning at the park sort of day. At least the weather is nice.

It’s like they know somehow! Its a baby/toddler 6th sense. The same one that knows When you sit down, use the bathroom, get in the shower, make a hot plate of food or mug of coffee. I’m not sure when they outgrow it. It eventually morphs into all the questions that must be asked while mom uses the bathroom for any reason. In the middle there are requests for snacks. It probably moves into asking for the car keys and money at the last stage.

At least it was finally a beautiful day so we were able to spend a good amount of time outside. We even got up close and personal with some ducks.

My daughter is so social. She's always going up to other people and charming them and everyone tells her how cute she is. I hope she doesn't get a big head, though it's totally true. ☺

I swear I just saw a bright green bird go through my backyard. Please please please do not be someone's pet bird that got loose (or worse). 😩 I do not need a bird and this is how my MIL got started in birds again...She was driving and spotted a flash of yellow that didn't belong. I'm going to go have a quiet look around to see if I see it again. Wish me luck. Or maybe no luck and it was just the light playing off a regular ol backyard bird.

My mother's credit card number got stolen again. It must be Target or Walmart, that's the only place she really uses it. What a pain. Now I have to change the passwords since I use the accounts too. Anybody else have problems with Target or Walmart and getting their card stolen? Any way to prevent it?

I am shook right now.

Gracie and I were watching a deer in the backyard. Along comes the black cat that terrorizes Gracie. He walked right past the deer and didn't even acknowledge Gracie. Then he starts walking down the path towards the woods... and the freaking deer follows him like he is her leader!!! Right into the woods they go!!! :jawdrop:
