The Poor Girl Next Door

Ashleysred

I think I have complained about my neighbor girl before.  She is the one that walked in the house after Timm was getting out of the shower and she didn't even knock.  I feel terrible for her.  Her mom is in jail.  Her grandma has a house in Costa Rica and clearly doesn't want to be here raising her grandchildren.  Her dad is a dead beat and is never around.

So today is her birthday.  She has come over here twice wearing a blue princess dress with a balloon.  I knew her birthday was today.  I offered her a birthday cookie and let her play with the dogs.

She just came back over and said, "so you think you can throw me a birthday party next weekend?  I would really like it."

It makes me so sad.  That means grandma isn't doing anything for her birthday.  She's 7 years old today and there's no birthday plans in sight.

this brakes my heart.  maybe you and timm can bake/buy her a cake and a gift and have her over for a little bit and call it her party.

I was thinking about this.  We could do something little.  Cake, a party hat, and candles.  A little gift.  I am going to Target tomorrow.  I am going to see what I can find.  It is such a huge bummer.  Had I known that her grandma wasn't going to do anything for her, I would have already had a plan. 

I feel bad that it will be late but better late than never, I guess.  We can make it a surprise!  You thought we forgot your birthday party! party.

That is so sweet, Ashley.  I am sure she'll never forget her 7th birthday thanks to you and Timm.  And, shame on that grandma for treating her granddaughter like that.  Just b/c your daughter is a loser, don't take it out on the little girl!  Ugh!

I ache for this sweet child- what fuc&tards those people are!!!

You, Ashley- are a doll to plan a surprise! She will be touched!  Maybe even make a simple meal like grill hot dogs or burgers? Or buy some dough and do a make your own pizza? end with cupcakes or ice cream sundaes? I'm sure any gesture would mean so much..

Ashley, it is so great for you to even think of doing something for this poor little girl.  Such a sad story.

oh Ashley, that is so heartbreaking.  poor little girl.  it's nice that she has you there to come to.  it just sounds like a tragic life in the making and how much trouble she will have with relationships and trusting people when she's older after being treated like that.

Aw! That breaks my heart. It is very kind of her to do something for her. It is a shame that sometimes family sucks. Anything you do she will remember forever.

That is so sad!  I don't care if the grandmother wants to be raising kids or not, be nice to the poor child! 

And you are fabulous for being so kind to her!

MrsAzull

oh my, that's the saddest thing.

Gosh, that is so sad

Ashley, Do you think grandma asked her to ask you so she wouldn't have to follow through?  (Sorry to be the devil's advocate here.)

Hmmmm, I don't know.  I doubt it.  But grandma does weird stuff. I would think that she would have had her ask me a couple days ago and not on her birthday.  Unless she wanted it to be more sad.  I don't know.

Ms.Beachbum08

You could probably just make a cake then and give her small gift.  I am afraid if you do something bigger than that then the family will take full advantage of you.

Ashleysred

Sadly, I think they already do.  I swear grandma sends her over here to play with the dogs all the time so she can get a break.  My issue is she needs constant supervision.  My dogs are well trained but ball stupid, where you throw the ball, they will go. 

They should be moving soon, their house is for sale.
